Snowpocalypse Day Four – Bracing For Round Two

Feb 092010

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get any pictures yesterday, but I wanted to get this update up from round one before round two hits – it just started snowing again.

I have no clue where he got it from, but yesterday we were astonished to see one of our neighbours come down the road in a Bobcat, a small front-loader excavator. He then proceeded to chunk out a wide path down the road, and even cleared our driveway enough so we can get to our trashcans.

So all the clearance you see in the pictures below is attributable to one resourceful resident, not the town, and not the county.

Snowpocalypse Day Two – Digging Out Begins

Feb 072010

I 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.
