2 Plow Crew

In my little suburban enclave we have found ourselves involved in a battle between two rival forces, 2 Plow Crew and OPP. Yes, it sounds like a gang turf war from the last century. In fact, it is a controversy between the goodniks who think that snow should be removed from the streets by a plow crew of two, and those who insist in the safety, efficiency, and by nature the naughtiness of OPP, or "one person plowing."

My neighborhood apparently is one of two in our town that has been chosen as a pilot for OPP. I discovered this from a number of protest signs sponsored by our neighborhood association. I decided it was my duty to learn more, hence:

A LOT of information. The interior shots of the new plows - FABULOUS! The plowing data provided by residents - ABUNDANT! The graphic of a clenched fist that links to the labor union website - APPROPRIATE.

There seems to be a lot of worry from amateurs about how complicated the plow seems and how bad the weather gets. I imagine that these are people who panic when they have to drive their Camrys in the rain. One-person plows appear to be working in other places, and our elected officials are doing the right thing by testing it on two routes first. So I guess you would say that yes, I am down with OPP. That gives me a great idea for a lawn sign (yeah you know me!).

I will be sure to post updates on this issue in the future IF IT EVER SNOWS!
