But you know, all that actually implies taking responsibility, something we just don't like to do anymore. Let's blame silly hall instead!
Last March I was in a pub in rural England with my folks, who live on a snow route back in Calgary. Got the notification via email, they called their neighbour, and their car was moved within minutes. And the neighbour was planning on moving it for them anyway.

This recent snow storm seems to have been very well handled. Deal with the storm response first, then call the ban so the bus routes and main roads can reclaim some of the parking areas, then call it off early so as not to unnecessarily inconvenience people. Plus a little bit of warm weather has helped, but the washer fluid is depleting quickly!
