I work in Newark, on one of the industrial roads there was a pothole that someone literally threw a tire into it was so huge. I've blown tires twice on company vehicles because of potholes.

But yea, there are some definite car/bike/pedestrian eating potholes out there. I can see why they don't patch them now since a plow will just roll by and pop it up if it doesn't get enough time to pack down and cure before the next snow storm. In Newark you can report potholes to 4311, not sure about how fast they get them fixed but I see the mobile pothole repair truck around all the time.

RonC, on my way to work I almost stopped in the left lane to take a picture if this pot hole on Rt9. The only reason I didn't was because I'm afraid if I got too close I'd fall in and nobody would ever find me...this thing had to be 2' deep and when I say 2' I really mean at least 10". It looks like it's hungry and waiting for car tires

I figured Hugh Grant's career was in the toilet and he was driving a plow this winter.

So does this mean you were out riding that new bike of yours?

The cuts in spending have nothing to do with fixing the pot holes this time of year. As usual, only the really huge ones will be delt now bacause it doesn't make sense to fix them when we still have a few more months of freeze/thaw and possible crappy weather.

That being said, I have noticed a ton lately, the plows, freeze/thaw and salt just destroy the roads.

My commute to work is a minefield. Damn Hugh Laurie. Must be running out of cases over there so he dug up some holes to get work.

Ron, ride your mountain bike, they like potholes.

Would not be an issue. If Hugh Jackman driving a snow plow then stops, gets out. Then gets on his mountain bike and rides over a HUGH pothole. When Hugh Grant, starts learning how to adjust for the right colors for his next project...:popcorn:
