No Parking

   At least for some people in Yorkton. The city has started a week long parking blitz, and will issue warnings or tickets until Friday. It's for people who park on the wrong side of the street, park for more than 24 hours or leave trailers on the street.
   It's to help crews with the recent snowfall we've had, and to allow access should street repairs become needed. Similar blitzes have been done in other cities during winter, including last year in Regina.
   But they didn't issue a warning or ticket. Sometimes city crews just pushed a mound of snow either around, or in some instances, on top of vehicles left where they shouldn't be. Not intentionally, but with the snow that ell last year, it was sometimes difficult for crews to know where a car was parked.
   In Calgary this past weekend, they didn't have to worry about snow. In fact, a lot of what fell during a blizzard there last week melted, as temperatures hit +9.
   Chinook's are wonderful. Shame we don't get them here.
