Originally posted by axl please, can you send me at least a bit of that snow to London? pleeeaaaseeee.
PS: good luck digging it out
Be careful what you wish for! That much snow slows our small city (170,000) to a crawl. It was declared a 'snow day' by local school boards early in the morning (no school buses run - schools close). The first streets to see a snow plow are those on municipal bus routes. Side streets and lane ways were not plowed until late afternoon. All of this snow has to go somewhere as this is winter and it's not likely to melt in a significant way until late March of next year. It costs big bucks to push aside or remove snow from a city.
I must admit it would be a sight indeed to see 20cm of snow fall on a city like London England.
I'm dug out! I have a fleet of shovels, scoops and a 10hp snow blower that my late father in law gave to me before he died. God rest his soul! We take our snow removal very seriously.
