 Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 7:37 pm Post subject: After The Snowstorm - Newfoundland, Canada |
 |
|
These pictures were taken after a recent snow storm in Newfoundland on the East Coast of Canada.
There's a car down there somewhere.
I've got the driver's windows & mirror cleared.
Are you lot all gonna want a lift after this?
The driveway's here somewhere.
The car's just about clear, now, where's the bloody road??

Nah, when it gets that cold it stops snowing. Has to warm up to snow really well.
Of course cold is relative. As in it's a good place to send relatives you don't care for.

I just find myself wondering why you would need the car dug out when the snow is that deep? Looks like a good excuse to stay home. Or were the PGGB's in the trunk?

So it's like a repeating cycle of punishment. Just when you think it's all over and gets warmer, it starts snowing again.  |

It's worse than that, If you don't get out and shovel it right away it gets very cold and then the snow turns into Granite.

True, very true.. Especially if it's a heavy wet snow, which then freezes overnite. Other than that.. drifting snow is the only other bad one once it piles up. |

If you look at the surrounding area in those pictures, there doesn't appear to be a lot of snow. 
What did they do? Park in a ditch?

It's a drift, you can see the wind marks in some of the pictures. I've seen houses buried in drifts here.

Maybe it was in a 'no parking'zone - they wanted to get at the number plate to write the ticket? 
Anyway - snow sucks (and yes, you can suck a vanilla ice cream - and snow for that matter - but snow sucks in the I-can-do-without-it sense)
