Salisbury Needs To Learn From Other Communities Experienced With Heavy Snow
It sure makes a lot more sense then depending on toads being 100% cleared so you can see tiny blue markers in the road.
I grew up outside of buffalo in the snow belt and laugh at these people every winter. Maybe if they occasionally left the confines of their safe spaces they would see how ridiculous their decisions are. OC slapped their reflectors on the curb to keep them safe and visible - which is a far cry better than in the middle of the road.
ReplyDeleteThe old saying is true as far as Smallsville here. You can't fix stupid
Since they do not plow unless it is over 4" the roads are usually not "clear"
ReplyDeleteTOADS!! Ha ha ha! Watch out for those icy toads!
ReplyDeleteWe had a problem with people(kids most likely)breaking these off.A great idea if everyone would leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteSalisbury has a toad clearing problem? If we get rid of all the toads, will there be an explosion of the bugs they eat?
ReplyDeleteIts also really cold for them to be out..
I'm so confused...
Hummmm what toads are we speaking of that need to be 100% queered LOL
ReplyDeleteThe tiny blue markers were the vision of Day and the city council. They always follow his lead, we have become the joke of the State of Maryland.
ReplyDeleteFire department trucks should have all hydrant locations locked in on their GPS systems.
ReplyDelete(this is for marking in snow which is great)
ReplyDeleteBesides the idiotic placement of the blue reflectors in the travel lane of the road (instead of in the median or on the line at least) is the fact that maybe the fire fighters should be required to learn their covered territory. Other outlying towns know where their hydrants, why can't Salisbury be bothered to learn?
It would be nice if you have a hydrant near your house to shovel around it during heavy snow.
ReplyDeleteI only said to do this for 10 years but you people think you know it all, clearly you don't know jack shit... And guess what, the blue things are still all around, and not taken up even though the SHA said they had no permission to place them in the road... And as we said, the plows and cars have as soon as they were placed on the road, heaved up and tossed aside... And guess what else, your tax money still is gone from being used for this crap... But for some reason you all love taxes, and being slaves... maybe one day you will actually give a shit...
ReplyDelete9:19 that would be to easy and smart thing to do and we all know you can't have smarts or brains here in SBY...
ReplyDeleteSnow covered toads are the worst kind of toads.
ReplyDeleteFrogs, too?
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to go that far to see hydrant marking flags, Milford DE uses ones made of metal, and they last longer than plastic pucks.
ReplyDeleteNo! No! No! The little blue things glued to the road was the best idea in the world!!
ReplyDeleteMany non eastern shore jurisdictions don't use the Fire Hydrant Markers/Poles given the "perceived" lack of snow thought by "cheap" county councils.
ReplyDeleteMarkers/poles last forever. Don't have them, then a snow storm transpires what does one do? Shoot from the hip and have their fire officials glue markers on the road by the hydrants. Bet we all can "SEE" the problem with that when it does snow....NO MARKERS! Then to top it off, all markers are destroyed when the snow plows carve up the roads!
HA HA HA. Thanks for the picture Joe. Many now county council nimrods will see the cost effectiveness and will allocate funds for future poles/rod which can get great return on investment.
Can't fix stupid!
9:19 this seems a lot easier and in the scope of a place like Salisbury
ReplyDeleteHow about home owners help out by shoveling around the hydrants.
ReplyDeleteI sure hate it when I draw the short straw in my house and have to do the toad shoveling....even though frozen, they’re still slimy:)
ReplyDeleteused on military bases too. mentioned this last time we talked about the blue relectors. who got the contract to put them in the road?
ReplyDeleteDon't have to go to NY to see them. Good old Federalsburg MD, here on the Eastern shore, has had them for years.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up another blue reflector off my street. Don't know where it came from but apparently, Rick Hoppes', John Tull's and Bryan Record's stupid hydrant markers don't work.
ReplyDeleteAs a professional firefighter from a large fire department that sees a lot more snow than Salisbury we used these for a short time. Seems that the locals just tore them off the hydrants and if it did snow then the hydrants could not be located. The chief decided to remove them. By the way, any good company officer and engine driver should know the location of all hydrants in their first and second alarm areas. Salisbury Fire should spend more time on area familiarization and less time at the fast food joints or grocery store.
ReplyDeleteIf these three are fire chief's then I'm the tooth fairy.
