Snowpocalypse Day Two – Digging Out Begins
on February 7th, 2010 at 12:37 pmI love how history repeats itself.
Most of the snow clearance you see on the ramp was done by our fantastic and wonderful PCA, Tainee. I did get to go out and start hammering on the ice on the ramp though – figures I get to do the destruction part
They think that plows might get to roads like ours mid-week.
Now, I realize people might say “Oh, well, the neighbors will all decide to dig their own way to the nearest cleared road” – and they very well might – but it won’t do us any good, since even a relatively small pile of frozen-slushed snow a car might drive through, or a pedestrian might step over, might as well be a solid wall for a wheelie.
That’s going to be the next obstacle once the roads get cleared – trying to get around once we’re out of the neighborhood. County plows will have dumped all the snow on the sidewalks, meaning we’ll have to travel along the side of a very busy main road.
Hopefully, unlike last Christmas’ snows, we’ll remember to take the camera with us so people can get some idea of just how scary it can get.
I swear, the world is made to try and reduce the number of crips by putting us in harms way just to go out!
