Last year was an aberration with three major hits.
So, when they claim they used up 25% of their budget with one major storm, I say they are right on the budgeting plan. If they get two more big hits, plus a couple of small ones, they are exactly on budget.
See how the news media has manipulated you...........without you even realizing it?

Major snow events, yes. But central CT averages 12 snow events per season (6 under 3", 4 in the 3-6" range and 2 over 6"). The trucks are running the same routes with the same frequency whether there's 2" or 6". Over that they're running more often and longer. We've got one 6"+ out of the way. Hopefully that remaining 75% gets us through the remaining 11 snow events.
