I hope you’re all OK. It would seem we have had such mild winters for several years that no one seems prepared to remember what a “snow storm” means.
I remember them when I was growing up. We lived in the Rockies. When it was winter, we had snow. Because we were in coal mining country, coal dust was used on the roads instead of salt, so I had never known about salting the streets.
Alaska has snow, too, and all I can say is, if you don’t like winter, don’t go there! LOL!
Well, about two or so years ago we had a blizzard here much like the storm from yesterday.
Dumped about twenty six inches of globull worming on us.
Well, the road crews were so unprepared that many of them were still at home when the worst of the snow hit.
Roads didn’t get done, highways were impassable.
I was supposed to go into work that night and got stuck in my driveway, high centered on snow.
[This was a January snowstorm]
December that year we had yet another snow storm where the road crews sat on their duffs and did exactly nothing.
For about six hours.
Finally, after an unholy number of accidents and complaints, they finally came out to...
..salt the roads.
How competent of them.
So color me surprised that they actually were working last night instead of sitting at the bay or at home as previously.
Oh, and they didn’t shove crap into my driveway like they normally do!
