>>1025619>They don't in NovemberAside from being wrong, that's still fucking the doge. It's a fucking winter month. There's always a risk of snow. Plus they had lots and lots of warning to get the private snow people to come to work early.
What I believe really happened is that the pathologically macho men who do the snow clearing threw in a sitting protest against the "new" rules of clearing bus isles, sidewalks and bike paths first. That's been the official policy for years, and they've sabotaged it every year for as long as it's existed by purposely doing a shit job.
Like bobbing the plow up and down to create a half metre deep wave pattern on bike lanes. Like pretend-plowing the bike path first and then purposely running the road blade fast and close enough to the sidewalk that the bike lane is buried under the shit they plowed up from the road. By clearing the sidewalk path but leaving the snow they pushed in front of the tractor in a big pile/wall at each end of the stretch, effectively rendering it inaccessible.
This year they got very clear *ahem* "instructions" from the new green party trafikborgarrådet (traffic council head?) to fucking _not do that_! And suddenly there was almost no snow clearing done at all. They threw a fit and went on a silent strike.
