In the case of this storm, 100's of people were still stranded in their cars the next day. People stuck in their vehicles after Colorado storms are often picked up by emergency vehicles, national guard, good samaritans, etc. Most people in Colorado also carry emergency supplies in their car in case they get stuck like this.

I don't even know what's going on here. It was a cyclone with really high winds but only like a foot of snow. Not really a blizzard. It looks like a lot of those cars drove off the road when there was zero visibility and then got stuck. The rest are probably stuck because sudden ice made the roads impassable.

That storm started with reasonably warm weather and rain, then a sudden (SUDDEN!) drop in temperature and high winds. I think below that thin layer of snow was undrivable ice.

Good dog, Cujo! Also, you know that mutt drops a log the size of a baguette at least twice a day and it practically takes a snow shovel to fling it into the neighbor's yard.

I use to have a tragically retarded Cocker Spaniel (and, to note, there is no other variety of that breed) and it was like the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, only with dogshit. At least three times a day, this golden-furred, floppy ear'd mongrel would scarf down a can of Alpo, a cup of kibble and whatever food was left lying on the table -- the same table the cat always got smacked for climbing on, but the dog ... ohhh, no! It's CUTE when the dog does it! -- then make a beeline to the back lawn where it'd crap Mt. Everest. I'd have to trudge out the the back yard, shovel in hand, while the guy next door shot me the stink-eye because he was tired of fishing dog turds out of his swimming pool every day during the summer. This task is odious enough, but it's a thousand times worse when you're stoned and it's a million degrees out and you'd much rather be floating on your waterbed listening to Dark Side of the Moon in headphones while blissful AC-cooled air wafts over your twice-weekly washed body and not fighting your way through a black fog of Horseflies to reach a 1:1 scale model of Mt. Doom made entirely of a too-quickly digested overpriced slurry of meat scraps and offal that the canners couldn't fob off on Mexico.

It might not have been as bad as all that, but in my hazy recollection, it was pretty darned close.

I'm not sure why I told you all this, to be perfectly honest, but I did. So there.

I remember loving the cold snow in PA back in the 80s. Cancel(l)ed school days, snow forts and balls, sleds, etc. As an old fart, I'm cold in my <70F degrees room. LOL!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Wow, that's a huge dump of snow. My dog, never having seen snow - would not do this well.

Love the THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU reaction from the stranded motorist. Mad props to the snow plow!

our st. bernard is quite happy to go to sleep outside and get snowed on like this until he has an inch of accumulation on him

This is possibly the most Canadian thing ever. The French Canadian town of Saint-Narcisse-de-Rimouski holds an annual snowblower race at their winter carnival with a grand price of a heat pump. 96.7 The River reports this year’s winner was a souped up Honda.

The snow looks pretty light and powdery, I wonder how well this would work with something heavier or densely packed.

I can do far more work with my legs than my back. I could run his bikeplow for an hour easy, but a shovel, 15 minutes would be pushing it.
The plow doesn't lift the snow, which saves wasted effort. Even so, it might still take more total work, but at a lower steady rate instead of short jarring maximum efforts.

Doesn't he end up doing just about the same amount of work/energy as if he was shoveling? He's got the bike geared low so he's peddling pretty fast. He's got wheels but he's also got extra weight from the plow and himself and is pushing more snow than with a shovel.

If I only knew someone better at math than me.

Even with the weights it's impressive he gets enough traction to push snow. *quality toy/tool. *promote

You'd hope he'd just walk up on the lawn where there is snow.
