I have lived in the Falls since 1968. My great-great grandfather was one of the village founders. I have served the community in multiple ways: Firefighter, various boards and commissions and for many years was president of the Falls Cable Access Corp. Currently I own, and am active in, a restaurant equipment manufacturing company.
Winter Weather in Menomonee Falls
Yws, I am a grumpy old man.
We had a super cool, unpleasant summer. I grumbled.
And, now winter has offered a much less than pleasant than season so far.
The multi-inch slush fall last week caused me to bring forth language that only some sailors know.
I have watched my neighbors, as well as myself, fight with snow blowers that balked at the heavy demand.
Village employees assigned to show/slush removal did a remarkable job with that storm. No, it was not as perfect as snowfall clearing has been in the past. But, this was not a normal weather event.
Nevertheless, our streets were plowed - open - we were able to move about.
Overnight the crews worked, and the next day they were there finishing up the job.
In front of my house village plows amassed a 3-ton mountain of weather droppings. The pile has now turned into an ice mountain. Thank goodness that it was all removed from the street.
With all the recent budget cuts it is comforting that our community is able to react to a troublesome situation out of the normal.
