Problem #1: There are not enough places to dump the snow.
They are running out of room at the dump sites, with the snow piles being over
100 ft. high already. One proposal to fix this problem was to invest in the
snow melting machines that melt the snow and dump the water right into the
sewer system. The city council was also holding meetings to pass an ordinance
where people could volunteer their private property to become a dumping site.
(I’m sure they’d get paid for it or something.)
Problem #2: The moose are “taking over our schools and our
streets”. Because of the unusually harsh winter this year, they are coming all
over into people’s yards, etc. So to fix this problem they were wanting to have
people buy some fresh hay bales (at $50 a bale), and put them in specific
locations to lure them away from all these residential and public areas.
Kenny and I were laughing so hard. We just looked at each other and asked, do we seriously live here?
Where have we just moved to? Too much snow, and too many moose, these are the issues
making the top headlines in Anchorage. What’s the news like where you live? J
