    Moving from Colorado I wasn't concerned about the snow, until my normal 1/2 commute turned into almost a 4 hour commute. Totally appalled with the state of the interstate and major highways.

    Baloney! They have no plan for traffic control. Obviously to clear a street, you have to be able to get to it. That was completely missing from their plan. Those poor people stuck on I-5 all night! The police and SDOT should have had plans in place to drain cars off I-5 and not just leave them sitting there. Tow trucks should have been stationed at strategic locations like Denny Way over I-5 and Mercer St along with traffic control personnel, cops or DOT so salt trucks could get through. Once certain streets became impassable, no one could move and gridlock set it. Just having lots of salt trucks standing by is no snow plan. I think they need to hire some consultants from places actually competent at handling winter storms and see how they do it.

    They did the best they could. The city can't make things perfect. When there is a nasty storm, we can only deal with it and put up with some inconveniences. We couldn't get to the airport because the buses weren't running and then our flight was cancelled. It was miserable but it's a winter storm - that's just the way it is.
