I said I'd comment when you put one up
Come on. There is no snow on the ground. And although I will believe that over the course of several storms this winter the cone owner may have spent a total of 8 hours shoveling a spot on the street, if they put that out after the first 6 inch snow in December (and I do want to note that the law of averages says no snow at all for us next winter) they will be laughed at by even the strongest of advocates of the space saving system.
But for you haters, this is your moment. Enjoy it.
Burn it down
I think we can all agree that all space savers should be lit on fire when spotted at this point, right?
Space savers now?
Aside from the hazards of burning plastic, sure.
Just don't ask me after the next snowfall of over a foot (which will hopefully be after such a long time that you will have forgotten to ask me.)
Now, meaning April 6
Weeks after the last real snow fall and week+ since all the street snow melted away.
Oh, you can find street snow
But if you pull over to take a look at it, you risk smushing it. Sure, you'll say you didn't know you hit it, since you didn't feel anything, but it was there.
For the record, I have one of those 3 inch high piles by my driveway. Or at least it was there this morning.

It's not litter, but it is a
It's not litter, but it is a violation of the city's Haystack ordinance and subject to a $250 fine.
Cops send a ticket?
This is Boston not Mayberry RFD.
Someone should get NStar
Someone should get National Grid/Eversource to come rescue their wayward cone. It's clearly fallen in w/ the wrong crowd.
Nah
they don't care.. Not when you can order Traffic Cones from amazon.com
OK OK OK I admit I was looking to see if I could buy a big girthy one like Adam posted months ago from Dorchester. And yes you can, for under 30 bucks.
And get your mind out of the gutter.. I wanted it because I wanted to be 'that guy' next year when it snows with a huge traffic cone space saver.
If you didn't use words like
If you didn't use words like "girthy", lol, we would never go to the gutter. But this is why we love you. :)
LOL
oh I said that for effect. :) Girthy was Adam's word not mine.
NSTAR/Nat Grid/ Eversource Response
Carry on my wayward cone
There'll be peace when you're all gone
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry, no more
Durn...
First the residents of Ruthven declare war on the police and now they declare war on common sense/space saver etiquette?!?!
