snowpocalypse 2010: Desperate measures for desperate times
The scene: Yesterday just after the last bit of the 25″ snowstorm. I’m snowed in from the record snowfall. I decide to walk out to the main road and assess the snowpocalypse.
Most of the walk is pretty easy, there’s about a foot of snow on the local streets thanks to the efforts of a private-hired company. The last 100 feet on a footpath was through knee-high snow.
I walked out to the main road. There was about 4 inches of packed down powder, with the remainder ploughed aside and no one around as far as I could see.
A few minutes later I see a SUV coming and I promptly got off to the side (mostly because I didn’t want to be anywhere near anyone obviously insane). Watching from behind the well packed snow berm, he drives by and holds up a 1/2 empty bottle of Miller High Life.
Desperate measures for desperate times, I suppose.
