You Said it, Middletown: Are You Plowed Out Yet?

Editor's Note: These comments were compiled from Facebook through 10:31 p.m. Sunday, upon which Middletown Patch promptly collapsed from blizzard-induced exhaustion and entered REM sleep!

Middletown Patch posted a request on its Facebook page Sunday evening. Residents responded in droves with how they were faring in the aftermath of the blizzard that dumped 36 inches of snow on our fair city. 

"Help us compile a true representation of adequately plowed streets by adding your street and when it was cleared. Thank you!"

A staggering number of people gave us invaluable information for their neighbors.

• Dorothy: Knollridge not plowed
• Jane: Bartholomew rd plowed extremely well this afternoon- plow driver even avoided pushing snow into end of driveway. Ironically- our plow man lives on our road in higganum and his roads were clear since yesterday? He couldn't get to us because at the Middletown line our roads weren't plowed.

• Alberto Brainard, Home ave. and glover place not done.

• Joanne: Woodward NOT plowed
• Michelle: Monarch Lane and Willow Bee Lane not plowed.
• Trish: Ledgebrook lane NOT PLOWED
• Ann: Middlefield Street one lane south side of the street. Town plows and payloaders have been driving up and down that side all day. I absolutely refuse to shovel off 4 ft of road way, especially knowing that the town will eventually come by and back fillin my driveway.

• Jody: Blue Orchard Dr still not plowed
• Monique: Fowler just now getting plowed. If there were crews working since Friday they were working somewhere outside of middletown cuz everyone I've talked to hasn't seen a single plow since Friday afternoon.
• Elise: Sorry you're getting only not-plowed comments but... Beverly Heights & Egan Rd still pure snowy tundra. I hiked up and saw a plow trying to work on Boston Rd and it was just spinning its wheels for several minutes. I do believe they're exerting a huge effort!
• Krista: The plow was one street over about 5 pm and then left. Now no sight of them guess were not going to hit that midnight deadline!!!

• Lisa: It's 10:00pm still no sight or sound of any plows. I'm a corner lot neither Cedar or Lewis street touched.
• Lorraine: Because they are using payloaders with snowblowers on the front...and they only have a few.
• Lorraine: Apparently people aren't watching the news..and don't realize the ENTIRE state is having the same problem..city plows can't push the snow the way they would if they had 8 or 12 inches of snow..with drifts we have over 3 ft of snow on the roads
• Chrissy: Which is understandable but why would the mayor send out 2 robo-calls today assuring everyone 100% of roads would be passable tonight if he knows the extent of equipment available???
• Alicia: The ENTIRE state is not having the same problems at all. We have family all over and we are basically the only ones this bad off, with the exception of a few other towns. We are right on the cromwell line in middletown, and all of our family in cromwell has been plowed out.

• Chrissy:The plow guys are working hard and we understand that but the mayor shouldn't have set unrealistic goals or provided false information! There is no way possible that 80% of the town was done 8 hours ago by reading all of these comments. Just be truthful....tell us we are stuck for a while!!!
• Lisa: Complete bs.. 85% of what. My street has not even smelled a plow... 3 feet of snow 2 1/2 days later. .. no excuses. If there was an emergency no one could get anywhere near us and no one could get out.....  Believe me i tried!!!!!  Bear hill rd. NO...
• Ellen: Higby 1/2 plowed. One lane.
• Pam: Highmeadow Lane...1 lane @ 5:45pm.....thank you for that

• Sandy: Birdsey Ave. They just started 15 minutes ago...
• Anthony: Bretton Road, one lane.
• Mel: Hey Sandy, they left   Lake St is still not done. Everyone around us is, but they just keep skipping this little section with 3 apt houses on one side of the street between Huntinghill and Durant and us on the other. So close, but no access out yet!
• James: Roberts St. - one very narrow lane
• Ian: Pearl Street is still barely one car width.
• Jennine: Lisa Lane is barely passable however I want to thank Public Works for there dedication to the city. We had a plow stuck on our road during the storm for hours and he never gave up!
