SOLID PRECIPITATION RELOCATION ENGINEERING

Well, why not? They’re coming up with all sorts of other fancy names for jobs in this town.

See the yellow bulldozer waaaaay up there? That’s a big dozer. On an even bigger mountain of relocated snow. And this was once a skiers’ parking lot. It now resembles an open pit mining operation with trucks crossing paths and offloading snow at regular intervals … the loader shoving it all up to the peak with rumbling and rattling tank-like tracks.

And that achingly-blue sky?

That’s going to be dumping solid precipitation again come Saturday . Nice for a ski resort … but one does have to wonder what’ll happen when the big melt comes.

I’ll keep you posted

   Watch out while entering this lot. Last Tuesday at lunch I watched a solid rock of ice at least 3 feet around fly down from the top, down to the bottom and through the parked cars. The boy in his toy was working up top, I wondered if he had even noticed.

   Talk about bad timing for anyone passing by at that moment.

   They took the snow out of the forcast for today, which probably means we’ll get a slew of it. It always gets bad when the weather people say we aren’t going to get any snow/sleet.

   My DDs want your snowpile to sled down, Loreth! The ones in our driveway are looking quite pitiful now.

   So uhm, back to that melting thing…do you have a canoe?
