Spring Equinox forecast for Quincy: more snow.
Just as many residential Quincy streets have finally become relatively clear in the wake of a winter that is only just starting to fade, another snowfall is about to hit the Q.
While the expected snowfall forecasts have dropped down to the one to two inch range from earlier forecasts of two to four inches, locals fear that the City of Quincy will yet again drop the plow as it did yet again last Sunday when a but several inch snowfall turned Quincy streets into slick and accident-laden messes.

Further complicating matters, last Sunday the Quincy Police were unable to reach anyone at the Department of Public Works to see that snowplows and salting trucks hit the increasingly mean streets of Quincy and so had to at least plan per police radio scanner monitoring to send a police cruiser to Department of Public Works Commissar Dan “Spanky” Raymondi’s home to find out what the Q was wrong.
With today’s snowfall projected to commence during the evening commute, one can only hope that Spanky can set an action plan in place other than seeing to it that the City Hall employee and long suspected free VIP commuter parking spaces are cleared before the break of dawn on Saturday and so maintaining the perfect record of keeping these spaces perfectly plowed 24/7 since The Blizzard of 2015 struck in January.

Then again, rumor has it that “Spanky” is facing all manner of problems with time and overtime issues on top of his spending well over $10 million – roughly six times this year’s budgeted snow removal figure -plus snow removal damage claims and other repair costs that are currently anticipated to at least approach the mid-six figure range, inclusive of the City’s claims processing expenses.
Quincy Quarry also suspects that Commissar Raymondi is still recovering from his less than favorable interview with a Fox 25  TV new reporter about the City of Quincy’s oh so poorly rolled out emergency one way street traffic plan last week and thus opted to give him a break by not reaching out to him for comment.
