My daughter made the mistake of driving home during our last snow storm. She said the wind was the biggest problem. Just before she got to her destination, at 1:50 A.M., she hit a "pile" of snow that someone pushed out across the town road. This morning I looked outside and her license plate is bent and everything below that is gone. It seems that people believe that when the snowplow comes through, that everything that they left out there will be removed, and that is true. But when is the plow coming through? A local business owner's son was killed when he hit one of these piles with a snowmobile, while driving at a high rate of speed on the shoulder of a road. To my knowledge it is illegal to leave snow on the road. I know, sour grapes.
