I see people complaining about the city not plowing snow.

The complaint may be justified, but you have to ask. Where do you want them to push the snow to? There is nowhere.

Dumping it into the river is even worse, as it ends up turning into icebergs that jam the river. Remember when they did that back in like 2013 and they had to bring ice breaker ships from Maine to clean up the mess?

I thought they stopped that in the 90s when Rendell dumped it into the Schuylkill? (93 or 96). Partially cause the salt from the trucks was toxic to the rivers ecosystem. There was video of the trucks doing it on youtube a while back.

Definitely not.

Imagine, I’m being downvoted for this. It did happen in 2010. There were icebergs from the snow dumping both in Philly and all the way up to Trenton. Clearly visible from the Bristol Bridge.
