We just got done having a snow storm that dumped approx three feet or more snow, here are a few photos of our dooryard that I took this morning. We have lived down here for seventeen years, the most snow since we have been down here at one time.
We only got 26 inches betweenWed night and Friday AM here, so nothing to take pictures of.....
As of Friday AM it was business as usual . Two cycles with the sow blower took care of it.
This area isn't like the Syracuse or Tug Hill area, this type of snow fall doesn't happen that often. I work for the town as a wingman during the winter, we worked 17 hours on Thursday keeping the roads open, then 11 hours on Friday. Life was back to normal here by early afternoon on Friday, except for the people that lost their power, which for many still hasn't come back on and may not until the middle of this coming week
So doyyou like some of th guys around here mark their doors like Fighter planes. With little decals of Mialboxes, trash cans, sleds, parked cars, and reburied driveways?????
Kidding, I know its a big job!!!
We used to live out in the country where the wid always filled in a cople places of the cross road with drifted snow. Our town had Walters snow fighters with V plows and pass side wings. A couple days after a similar February storm, there was a strange gleam of light near the top of the snow bank the wing had piled up. a bit of investigation revealed that it was a reflectioin of the bumper of a Corvair (still attached) that had apparently become stuck was luckily abandoned, and then rolled up the bank and buried by the plow and wing.
Pehaps the wingman was having a sandwich or was similarly distraced at the time..............
We have 4 wheel drive Oshkoshs, by Gosh they do move the snow, I was told that the V-plow hasn't been used since the storm in March of '93, as of now it has been painted orange with the "Town of Neversink" on it, sitting on a small ridge by the town barn.
Decals of trash cans, mailboxes, etc.? LOL, Plym 46; I know that Bob would never do anything like that, but it is kinda funny, as long as it's not YOUR mailbox, trash can, etc. :D
Regards, and thanks for the chuckle,
