Brr! No one can deny the shiv­ering discomfort when strong winter chills swept last week. Though it didn’t last long as ex­pected, people who were not used to this type of weather con­dition started to feel the need to just stay home and “hibernate.” On second thought, the body should be overruled by the mind. Despite the nasty weather con­dition and negative double-digit temperature weather forecast, the working class trekked on icy and slippery roads. A smart driver had opted to take the main roads in­stead of the usual short-cuts (side streets) to avoid rush-hour traffic. This was for obvious reason that City Service focused plowing and salting on highways and other major roads only.
