Quincy Quarry News gets its dogs out!

Quincy Quarry News let its the dogs out so as to undertake an after storm after action report.
After all, with the brewing bombogenesis cyclone now expected to track more easterly and thus but dust Quincy with fresh snow as well as but six inches or less of snowfall on the Cape, Quincy Quarry’s City Editor had to both pull the plug on snow stories in process and reassign staff to cover evolving snow news.
In particular, address how the City of Quincy and its contractors did clearing snow after Sunday into Monday major snow event.

Admittedly, last weekend’s storm was big one but the clean up still has been less than impressive even though there is now no big need to do so as the impending storm will likely not do much more than drop a thin fresh top coat of snow on top of existing snow piles.
Of particular note, complaints were numerable out in Houghs Neck.
Then again, Nekkers are known to kvetch about most any and all things.
This time, however, their complaints look to have merit.

The most common complaint was less to much less than curb to curb clearing and so making traveling two-way streets an adventure, if not also a game of chicken for already long-known to be aggressive Nekker drivers.
Such was also common enough elsewhere on streets around Quincy along with the added problem of the curbside lanes of four lane streets similarly constricted as well as so too often were dedicated right turn lanes.
At the same time, it was impossible for Quincy Quarry News personnel to take images of the constricted lanes as traveling about Quincy safely required not only the undivided of the Quarry’s sled musher, but also a second pair of vigilante eyes.
Well-plowed as usual City Hall VIP parking lot

Plus, places to stop and park so as to then endeavor to take pictures were precious few and far between, not to mention that doing so was asking to end up sideswiped given less than duly cleared parking spaces.
Even so, on a bright note roving Quarry personnel did not see any fender benders given snow-pack narrowed streets even if it is surely only a matter of time before snowholes start playing bumper cars on city streets, especially after massholes dig out their rides and then have to jump start them given recent battery charge sapping frigid weather.

Speaking of parking, while street side public parking was sorely impacted throughout Quincy by the storm, the City Hall VIP parking was yet again fully cleared down to the pavement as well as meticulously cleared from curb to curb as usual.
In short, in Quincy the last among us are never first, much less are the local taxpayers who are stuck with covering the nut.
Further adding insult to injury, Quincy Quarry News spotted the full-sized and truck-based city ride of the just appointed Acting Director of Emergency Services for the City of Quincy parked behind City Hall and thus abutting the MBTA’s tracks.
More than a bit thin on white bread

One would like to think that the acting director was being called on the mayor’s expensive carpet for koching-up, however, in Quincy falling short is all too typically a feature instead of a bug care of what has been a long bumbling along maladministration.
Especially when it comes to things slippery.
Further problematic, local supermarkets stores continue to be struggling to keep up given storm panic shopping, especially when it comes to bread even if so far supplies of eggs and milk are holding up even if perhaps not exactly plentiful.
At the same time, with the storm this weekend expected to mostly be far out to sea, one can only hope it will at least become less bad than last weekend’s storm.
After all, to live in Quincy requires that one to live in hope.
That or day drink as we approach the Super Bowl and thus worrying about covering the bets laid down.
