How Good was the Snow Removal in Watertown During Recent Snow Storms?

The two recent storms tested snow plowers in town.

We've had two snow storms in quick succession, and the question is how good a job has the town done plowing the streets of Watertown?

Granted, the storms were not your run of the mill few inches of fluffy snow. The first, Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning, dumped a few inches of snow and then covered it with a coat of rain that quickly froze. On Tuesday, the heart of the storm hit during the evening rush hour.  

The Public Works Department clears snow and ice from all public roads and some private ways (see the policy for private roads here).

Clearing sidewalks is the responsibility of property owners, and in the case of business districts owners can be fined for not clearing a path in front of their property.

Now that the second storm has cleared the area, how is your street? Was your commute route normal today or still impacted by snow on the road (or side of the road)?
