Somebody should lose their job over this fiasco

[snarkyman]

Could somebody explain to me why the several towns and the state of MA failed to salt the roads this morning? I traveled through 7 towns on my way to work today, of those, Wincheseter, Lexington, Chelmsford and Westford got it right: the roads were bare and wet -- due to the highway departments salting the roads. However, the roads in Medford, Woburn, Burlington and Rt. 3 were covered in hard packed snow and ice. I'll repeat: Somebody should lose their job over this fiasco. I'm taking suggestions.

I think the issue was that it went from 35 to 25 degrees during the morning commute. Now, I knew this was going to happen, because I listened to the weather forecast -- maybe we should buy the salt crews new radios?

Burlington DPW

Woburn DPW has their own domain -- maybe that's where the radio funding went.

Meffa DPW "provides for snow plowing", but doesn't actually say they'll *do* it...

I want names of the individuals responsible. The incompetence of these people borders on criminal negligence.

Well, start ringing phones. I only do online leg-work.
