snow business
Feb. 9th, 2010 01:03 pmSo, I'm at work today.
Anderson Road, despite having had snowplows up and down it for the past two days, is still in less than stellar shape. I can only imagine what the actual back roads are like. (123 and International are both perfectly clear.)
Mostly I've been very impressed by the local snowplowing, and by the power company. We had a couple of flickers on Friday night, nothing more. The water heater even stayed on. Hearing the reports of power outages and housebound-ness coming in from further out has solidified my desire to never live any further out from a population center, or be any more car dependent, than I am right now. I don't doubt that there are advantages to such things; they're just Not For Me.
They say it'll start dropping another five to twenty inches later this afternoon. That's about the point when I stop admiring the pretty white stuff and start getting genuinely concerned. Where are they going to put another five to twenty inches of snow from the roads?
Of course, it hasn't actually started yet, so this may be a big fake-out. We shall see. . .
