I have to agree with Mr Breadner on this one.  It is VERY important to be able
to handle large snow falls, or ice storms in a timely manner.  This is NOT 
something that the average citizen can do for themselves and I whole heartedly
agree that last year at least, Waterloo did a far worse job than the other 
centers I've lived in around the area.  Snow and ice on the roads is something
you have to expect, but to leave it around any longer than is absolutely
necessary is promoting a risk of accidents and human lives!  This is not 
something that can be compromised in efforts to save a few dollars.
