The City isn't even running it's current eqipment at capacity during the day, let alone at night. If they brought in contractor labour to help out during these extreme weather events, I'm sure they could get the job done.

Graders are the only thing that can get this ice off of the roads though. If you wanted the snow plowed, it should have been done months ago. The damage has been done.
We bring in private contractors as well in the form of graders, because we don't have enough of our own.
