as my housemate was leaving the driveway on Sunday, the plows came down the street so he wasn’t able to leave…

he was quick to get a shovel to start shovelling through the windrow… he headed to the sidewalk and they saw him and did a bit of extra snow moving so he didn’t have nearly as much as imagined…

the plow drivers were amazing in how they move the snow… by the time they were done, there was just a small windrow to be moved before he could leave…

so happy he was here because you have to move it immediately before it turns to concrete and then I would have gone out to move it;-(…

after he left they came down the other side of the street… the first plow moved the snow up over the curb and the second one went exactly along the edge of the curb to clear it up…

they have great control over their equipment…

yesterday was the first night of snow clearing on side streets this winter, and I have finally figured out which zone we are in…

I have learned to go out as soon as the plows go by to shovel the end of the sidewalk otherwise it turns to concrete and is nearly impossible to move…

they arrived about 10:45 pm and my housemate went out and shovelled our sidewalk and the one next door… in his shirtsleeves, but he did have his gloves on…

a nice treat, although I was dressed and ready to go, lol…

they did a great job at the end of the driveway so there was nothing to shovel there…

I did stand in the window and wave to each of the drivers of the graders and plows as they went by…

it was bitterly cold and I didn’t take a photo until they were doing the other side of the street, lol…
