Pittsfield and their incompetent highway dept.

Every time it snows, Pittsfield turns into a disaster area. This morning was yet another example. We got about 3 microns of snow overnight, at a pace of approximately 3 snowflakes per hour, and yet the city of Pittsfield still has absolutely nothing salted. I buzzed along at my usual 60 mph pace (time spent following timid idiots not withstanding) all the way until I went past Astro Beef and found a parking lot. Problem? Up ahead (way up ahead) over the Pittsfield line, some dipshit in a Trailblazer (it's always that over confident fuck-tard in an SUV that crashes) was halfway up an embankment on the other side of the road. While I put the blame primarily on the SUV-driving dipshit, it was also very clear that the nice wet black road immediately turned into a skating rink at the Pittsfield line near the mall. This was the case for the entire remainder of my route through Pittsfield until turning into work off of Merril Road. The allendale intersection, which is likely the busiest intersection in all of Berkshire County, was as slick as a Clinton under oath. Every time it snows, it's the same way. Smooth sailing until I get to the pittsfield line, then for that last few miles, it's a tapdance to avoid a bunch of sliding idiots. It's time for the city of Pittsfield to man up and do something about the piss-poor condition of their roads.
