And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This is a common dilemma for a truck driver in snow country who does what is called a 'drop and hook'. You are instructed to drop your trailer in a certain lot and hook up to trailer #xyz, which has 2 feet of snow on its top. Been there, had to do just that. There is no possibility that you are going to remove the snow by any other means than just to just hook the trailer and 'go'.
A hit that hard, with wind packed or wet packed snow, would have done serious damage to that trailer. Even powder would have done minor stuff. I cannot see my self in a vehicle in that position, not at least slowing down and backing off. Interesting.
Snow load removal service?

Good example of why in some states, a driver can be cited for have snow on their vehicle when driving.

ReplyDeleteMaybe? Did he manage to get that far without hitting a overpass already?
