With all the snowfall records being shattered this Winter the cartoonists are having a fieldday. Last Saturday's Big Dump was so abondant and violent that hndreds of motorists were obliged to abandon their cars wherever they became stuck.... so since yesterday morning you can see them atop huge mounds of snow and snowdrifts ..... armed with long bamboo poles sounding the depths and hoping to find their wheels before some big municipal snowplough or blower rams into them first. Just another newsy tidbit of info from Polecat's Friendly Quick Facts News Agency.
You may have been buried in snow but you sure keep up with what's going on.
ReplyDeleteI will always depend on you for my Canada news.
If they abandoned their cars wouldn't that be very dangerous? Where would you go and how would you get there?
Why thank you so much , Miss Cindy Anne ... ma 'am.... for your patronage. It's dangerous to stay in your car with motor running , especially when snow backs up blocking off exhaust pipe end ... thereby forcing the carbon monoxide gas up through the floorboards.The police and volunteer with snowmobiles patrol the roads , avenues , boulevards and streets looking for stranded folks ... noone died this last weekend.. Many take refuge in nearest homes oo. You do not turn anybody away from your door on nights such as those.
ReplyDeleteThat much snow is rather scary. But I know that I would not be out & about in a blizzard. I have learned that much.
ReplyDeleteFriends of ours woke up Sunday morning to find a car stuck in the snow on their front lawn. Police said the vehicle was registered to a nurse from the other end of town and had no idea how it got there. (c;
ReplyDeleteBrrrr I am sure glad that we have not had any real snowblizzards and a lot of snow this winter. Am glad to hear that you and Reb are at least warm and safe where you are at =o) KRAM
ReplyDeletePeople do some terrible driving during a whiteout , Jim.... and when stuck they simply walk away from it . It was not until I watched Buffalo TV the other night when they showed how much snow you got in Cleaveland that it dawned on me that you had really been suckerpunched by Mother Nature... quite a batch of the white stuff !!
ReplyDeleteYou guys over there had beach conditions all winter , Mona... LOL Thanks for caring. Hugs to you both !!
ReplyDeleteYou're of course correct lonesomepolecat!! Why should Mona have all the good weather? I think it's a terrorist plot and we should invade as soon as possible!
ReplyDeleteps don't forget the sunblock and camera. *LOL*
