Yesterday morning I awoke to find the ground all covered in white. I love fresh snowfalls, the way they make everything shine. So I did what I have been doing all my life after a snowfall, I went out shoveled the driveway. I not only shoveled my side of the driveway but my neighbors side also. The whole time I was outside I never saw anyone else with a shovel. I saw a couple of cars pass by but no one shoveled. I never heard a plow go by. I got the driveway clear and went inside to get ready for work.
On my wonderful walk to work, I hardly saw a car. I think two passed by me as I was walking. After the storm this weekend the road had these wonderfully large patches of ice and now they were covered in snow. Still no plow. I did see a plow on the runway at the airport. Thanks goodness. I am not use to such a lack of road care. Since a major crash here may mean months before you get your car back as pieces have to be shipped in I would think that keeping the roads clear would be important.
At lunch I took the office mail to the post office. Still the roads had not been plowed but they had sanded the roads. I guess that is something. This morning the road outside is still snow covered on top of the layer of ice. I am not sure what I am missing? Don't they shovel snow here? It was the same way in Anchorage. After each snowfall you never saw a plow. This could be a very interesting winter.
