To the guy who starts snow blowing the sidewalks on Church St. at 4am every night there is a storm: It’s great that you are clearing the sidewalks for yourself and some of your neighbours, but holy god that machine is loud. Does it have to be the middle of the night? Do you realize you’re waking everyone on the street up at 4am?

Oh, and you’re the type not to whine when the sidewalks aren’t plowed?
Amen Dr Fever! Assholes like this guy love to piss and whine about someone clearing snow during the wee hours of the morning, but if the sidewalks aren’t cleared when they get up…”Fuck Halifax man! They NEVER clear the sidewalks.” It’s almost as if the expect some guy with a snow blower to be standing outside their door waiting for them to come out. Then they can saunter along behind him while he clears the sidewalks for them. Bunch of pansies.
Close your window. I live on Church St. and I don’t hear anything.
