Snow Stuck - 12.21.06
The Front Range of Colorado got slammed with over two feet of the white stuff a few weeks ago… and I’ve been a-diggin’ ever since. On the night of the big dump, a guy in a 4WD made the wrong turn into our dead-end street and tried to back his way out. I watched him from the upstairs window for awile, as he dug-and-spun, dug-and-spun… and finally took pity and suited-and-booted up to go help him.I used a bag of OilSorb (kitty litter, diatomaceous earth) that I use for cleaning up the big oil spills on the bus and he soon had traction and was back on his way. Turned out that he was doing volunteer work for the hospital a few blocks away… driving doctors to and from their homes. Boy was I glad I went out there and helped after hearing that!
From the pic, the snow was almost up to my backside… it had drifted up in the street so bad because of the wind. By morning there were 6 foot fences in our neighborhood totally covered by the drifts!
