What Grade Would You Give Newport for Plowing the Streets?

Newport residents, how well did the town handle the snowstorm?

Is your street clear? Are you still buried? Is your mailbox still standing?

On Friday and Saturday, Newport experienced a snow storm it will not soon forget. Several residents took to Facebook and Twitter to talk about the plowing.

Yeserday, we asked how Newport residents what grade they would give the city for plowing the streets. Here's what a few residents had to say:

Brian Kinsella By noon the mini plow had finished clearing all the trails by hanging rock. No complaints here.

Katie Bluemling Sheldon Thought they did a good job over near bedlow

Kim Gentry F - Have not seen one plow on my Street (Burnside ave - Newport) this whole storm! Still waiting!..... :(

As the piles of snow remain, we want to know how you grade the town's response (or state's) to yesterday's major snowstorm. Does the town get an A? B? C? F?
