Actually, it was not a good job at all for Winchester, and my neighbor agreed. On Sunday night (where they clearly had 24 hours), it was still exceptionally difficult to drive on any 'regular' roads like Church, etc. Forget the Flats, it's still bad as of Tuesday morning. In Burlington, the plowers do not get paid until the job is truly complete---do we do that here? With all the notice they had, I thought there would be a better handling of it. Not a disaster, but a disappointment.

To often we take some of the simpler things in life for granted. To me having the privilege to live in a community that is full of honest, harding woking and committed public workers and volunteers is a blessing. Winchester like any other town is not perfect but there is no doubt in my mind that the individuals that choose to work for and in our community are second to none and because of there integrity, talent and will we all benefit. What we could use as a community are more doers and less Monday morning quarterbacks and once we have more doers we will move forward at a faster pace as one town.

I was impressed with the work. We had the 4th most snow in the state and it was the 5th most snow on record.

I am normally a critic of the plowing job the town does. I must say that with this amount of snow, I doubt that anyone else could do much better. My gripe lies with the private plow trucks that do driveways.STOP making a mess of the street YOU"RE not supposed to be crossing with the snow. We all know you have and that's fine. BUT CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES !! You bury walkways, rip up other peoples yards,and make it harder for the town to clean up.

The guys are still working long hard extra hours. Their efforts aren't done yet. Considering the small size of their workforce, I am both impressed and thankful!
