Waukegan announces snow emergency
Comments

February 9, 2010

The city of Waukegan has announced that a snow emergency will go into effect at 7 p.m. tonight, meaning that any cars parked on designated snow routes will be ticketed and towed to clear a path for snow plows.

City spokesman David Motley said the parking ban – which primarily affects streets in the downtown area and others marked with red, white and blue snow route signs – will likely remain in place into the daytime hours on Wednesday as public works crews continue to work on clearing streets of blowing snow.

I hope the snowing there stops really soon and the sun comes out and Spring comes out.

We see it here on the news, all about Washington being snowed under.

Good luck with the snow.
I do havve a tip if you want to clear your pavement pretty fast of snow.

Use a gallon of fuel, put it on the snow and light it, it cleans out pretty fast. Afterwards, plow off the excess water and then throw salt on it.

that's the goddamn stupidest thing I've heard in a long time!

Come on Jazmin, is that really necessary? Why waste our time attacking another poster in this manner? GROW UP my friend.

Admin, I suggest you put her back in the Penalty Box...now she's ruining "my vacation!"

Chill people...life's too short and I don't want to read constant attacks & negative posts.

Geez...

Westleigh, Jazmin's post was NOT an attack on on the poster, but rather a comment on a stupid and dangerous idea for snow removal. Jazmin should NOT be placed in the penalty box. Dennis should be placed in the penalty box for attempted endangerment of the public welfare.

Hey Dennis, Maybe it would be wise if you confined your thoughts to political discussion, while your previous replies came across as Socialistic, at least they don't pose a direct threat to your neighbors. Why don't you read the Geert Wilders speech I posted in Politics? He is, after all, one of your countrymen. Looking forward to more of your political wisdom, Harold Beadling

Admin I am getting sick of "Westleigh" playing arbiter. Not sure what planet he/she is from but around here pouring a gallon of gas on the ground and lighting it on fire is a goddamn stupid thing to do.

[admin]

Everyone calm down...

Besides... the gas idea is appealing to me since the snowblower isn't running...

[Westleigh]

Hey, sorry for the craziness everyone...didn't mean to incite a riot.

It really is never good when Admin has to get involved...

We're cool, we're cool.

I thought Jazmin's commentary was so right on and to the point it was hilarious.

A gallon of gas can be almost more dangerous than ammonia tri-iodide

Here's a video having fun with gasoline.
