The snows came yesterday. We got at least 6 inches of snow. No snow plow came to my apartment before work, when at least 4 inches had accumulated. When I got home, no snow plow came to get the 6 inches of accumulation. I texted my landlord to see why no snow plow had been by. They had been everywhere else around us, including the property he owns next door, yet no plow for us. The funeral home across the street was plowed 5 times yesterday; we were not plowed once. After waiting hours for a response from my landlord, I finally got one. He said he had talked to the plow driver and they had decided to let it melt on its own. He said it would be warm enough last night and today to melt it. I’m no physicist, but doesn’t the temperature have to get above freezing for snow to melt. The high today will be 22 with a low of 7. Tomorrow the high will be 28 with a low of 23, and Friday, we are expecting another 6 inches of snow. When will it melt? How will it melt? Am I missing something? Please tell me if I am, because I really want to understand.

Consider moving. Many towns in NH & VT do not plow all drives. He is not willing to pay the snow plow for your address and is making up excuses. Damn cheap yankee bastard! (I said that often when I lived in NH).

Yes, consider moving. I’m in the Tampa Bay area where the last report of snow (flurries) was 1985. Don’t need a shovel let alone a plow here. The coldest I can recall its gotten was 25 degrees during the night time out in the farm fields during the coldest winters.
Regarding the young man, I’d enjoy his six inches (much more likely nine),
