Snow-mageddon


Holy toodles.
This is the way winter used to be back in the 70's.
Snow started on Saturday and here it is Monday...hasn't quit snowing.

Buchanan Road was nigh impassable at dinner time last night.
Felt sorry for the folks who work afternoon and evening shifts in the service industry, as they'd have had a hell of a time driving home--or even TO work.

Surprised to NOT see local city ploughs out, getting a handle on the work, before snowlevels became too deep.  Crews must've been waiting for the snow to stop...well, city of Vernon and district of Coldstream, snow continued through the night and all day today so far!  Not wanting to brave Buchanan Hill last night, headed down Ricardo to access Highway 6.  At least that's level ground.

Highway 6 was brutal until two snowploughs, working the road in tandem, happened along.  An hour later on my return trip the road had six new inches of snow.




"It's difficult for a girl-dog to pee uphill," sniffs Kia.

Oh...and a dozen thorns for the total arsehole--obviously a four-wheel drive "expert"--who rode my bumper all the way home along Buchanan Road last night.

There's one on every street, it seems.
