YOU CAN SEE WHAT THESE STREETS ARE LIKE AND THERE ARE CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS NARROW STREET. IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR SNOWPLOWS. WE SAW THIS ON THE WEST SIDE OF CINCINNATI AND AS WE MADE OUR WAY THROUGH THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. IF YOU CAN, THE CRUISE ASK IF YOU CAN, DON’T PARK YOUR CAR ON THE STREET. IT MAKES YOUR CAR DIFFICULT FOR THE ROAD CREWS TO GET THROUGH WITH THE SNOWPLOW. YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE CHALLENGES LOOK LIKE. WHEN VEHICLES HAVE NOT MOVED SINCE THE BLIZZARD ABOUT 48 HOURS AGO. THE HE IS CERTAINLY GOING TO HELP. TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND 10 DEGREES. BE CAUTIOUS AND ADVISED OF THE BLACK ICE.
