They are a massive problem over here. I saw a bit on the news about them this morning. Councils are blaming the bad weather.... WHAT BAD WEATHER????? A BIT OF RAIN????!!!!!! We were most impressed when we saw your roads in Florida. We are useless at maintaining our roads. Utterly useless.

They blame the ones here on the severe cold snap we just had and now a bit of a warm up. Always an excuse it seems.

There are some roads where I'm surprised when I see a spot that isn't a pothole...

That's the thing, Nate. This year we're getting them on roads I can't recall it ever being a problem.

I'm glad to know that LA isn't the only place with a severe pothole problem!

I'll see your LA and raise you a Boston. LOL ;)

They were showing some in Beantown on the news last night that had my kidneys wincing by just thinking about hitting them.

They a problem all year round Shasta, or do you get a pothole season like us?
 

Shasta

On his shell he holds the earth.

Oh no. We have them all of the time. We don't have rain, just faults, so the ground is constantly shifting.

At least the frost heaves aren't too bad yet... Either way, we will all need new shocks/struts by spring.
LA has hundreds of them.....

(See what I did there? Because I don't love LA..... ;))

Only hundreds?
