We've had quite a winter here in Homer. They say this much snow isn't normal. That's too bad, because I rather enjoy it. The only downfall (in my book) is the giant sized snow berm in the middle of Pioneer Avenue. The plow trucks come early in the morn, go up one side and down the other, and leave a snow berm so large that you could lose a small person forever! You certainly wouldn't want to turn across the road, so you have to go out of your way, flip a u-turn, and come back down the other side of the street to get to your final destination. This in mind, I'm always delighted when the snow blower comes by. I can watch out my office window as he blows the unwanted snow into the back of a dump truck, and the dump truck driver hauls it away to a place where it won't be so despised. Quite an effective system of snow removal. Just for fun, I posted a picture of the much appreciated snow blower. The pile of snow looks pretty measly compared to what it was at 8am. It's been 38 degrees and raining all day, so quite a bit has melted off.
Now, aren't you glad you have more to do than write about snow plowing in Homer?! :)
