Tis' the Season

[anglachel]

They say there are two seasons in Minnesota, Winter, and construction.
They are wrong, there is infact a third season.

Pothole season.

That is some serious potholes. Our dirt roads a better than that.

When I lived in Central Illinois we had a slight pothole problem. Most of what I saw was caused by the plows. Many of the roads have the reflectors that are placed on the lane dividers and the blade of the plow catches those and rips them off along with some asphalt. That is where the hole starts and they only continue to grow.

I spent 6 winters in northern Alberta and pot holes were not a major problem. Frost heaves in winter were but they went back down in summer.

Only problem was summer never seemed to be on a weekend.

I grew up in Northern Alberta, Summer can be short but it's usually a nice day. As for potholes, I think Edmonton AB could compete with most places for bad roads. It was so bad for a while you could take pictures of the damage done to your vehicle with a picture of the offending hole and the city would pay for auto repairs.

I was in Grande Prairie. If the sun was shining summers were awesome. Did get tired of shoveling snow from mid September to mid May. Would go back tomorrow though for another assignment of 3 years or less.

but..look at the bright side-US got most expensive military complex in the world! no roads,bridges are broken at home,but hey..who needs them? we got drones!
why US have to send all this to a Black sea and european borders? whats the point? and how much this going to cost the taxpayer? imo-the biggest pothole is in a white house,in dc.
