Clearing the way

While I was clearing the way for sidewalk strollers with my shovel, the Eagan city snowplow drove past to clear the way for local traffic. I think chances are good for a "White Christmas" in Eagan this year!

Oh, the JOYS of living in the Midwest! Do you have all your holiday shopping done?

A White Christmas it is.

It's always a mixed blessing seeing that snow plow. Just when you've cleared your driveway the plow leaves an immovable ridge in its wake.

I see that your are better equipped snowplows. Where I live, at best it can snow 5 cm thick.

Looks like a sure bet to me.

Joyeux Noêl à toi aussi !

And more snow on the way. I hope the plow didn't cover your sidewalk that you just cleared.

Sharon said...

I should say so! That is a lot of snow already.

Is this what I have to look forward to when I get home?!?!

Ha! whatta snow!

Bless those snow plow drivers, of which our daughter is one. ;)

Serious business.

This picture is perfect! It seems you have painted the truck on a b&w shot.

Too bad that truck couldn't make a pass across your driveway and sidewalk without damaging anything...

What was this again about "Global Warming?"

Saa effektivt og smart!! En sånt kjøretøy bør Stavanger kommune sette på budsjettet....

Here is also snowing! I'm so happy, it's beautiful!
This machine looks very important for days with lots of snow!

Very impressive machine. Our country has never seen such a thing.
And good luck with your new snowblower.

You made me think of old American movie called Home Alone!

I don't think anyone would bet against a White Christmas in Eagan :)
