With all the talk about the big storm last weekend, I thought it might be good to post this one of a storm many moons ago in ND.
Too many people being lazy and not burying those poles far enough down. Dag nabbit bury them all the way!!!!
And by the way, the reason the guy in the pic looks kinda dark, well he grabbed a couple of those lines and charred himself!
And the folks are so tough up that way that they didn't even cancel school that day. They just had a two hour delay.
That's a fact! Seven months of winter is a little more than I care to deal with. I have friends in Montana. They're lucky if the get a 3 month growing season. I don't think ND is much better.
Cool pic, but even with as much snow as we got the last couple of winters (not this winter thankfully), we couldn't touch that. Do have pics of the snowblower being dwarfed by what it was trying to get thru, but DANG, it couldn't throw snow far enough up to get my driveway clear in that pic!
Thanks for that picture. You know, that used to be seen up in the county (Aroostook) ME. I will also admit the pole where much shorter then. We used to drive for miles and not be able to see anything over the snow banks on either side of the road. Poles are taller now, but those snow banks still can be way over the height of the car. Not that way this year.
I recall talking to a man who used to live in ND. He is a farmer and he said they actually got very little snow where he lived but every time it snowed, with so few trees, the snow just blew until it came to a town or where trees or buildings were then it drifted into huge drifts, like in the picture. He said one time he remembered getting 2" of snow and in town they had 12' snowdrifts. Nasty.
