It was mounted on a 5" solid piece of steel rod sunk about 5' into the ground and in concrete once and the fucker hit it anyway and bent it to about 45 degrees. After having to dig the damn thing out, I'll never be doing THAT again

Spray a little Windex on it.
Will fix it up just like new.

Looks like the frost just heaved up the pavement and then the plow probably knocked it loose afterwards. Happens all the time here. How is the driver supposed to watch every square inch of ground he clears?

Tough for a plow operator to know what is under the snow.

Easy to talk until you do the job yourself.

especially when it isn't under snow and there's only a few inches of the stuff on the ground (which is when stuff at my place got destroyed).

My problem with the snow plow is that they wait until I finish clearing my driveway, then they come through and put a mountain of snow back at the end of my driveway. I can't drive through the shit. The ass wipe also drives 50mph through my residential street throwing snow with so much force, almost every mailbox in our neighborhood is now leaning.
