This is the sort of scene we're all experiencing in this old-fashioned winter of frequent snowstorms and unmelted snow mounds.
Pretty, yes, but it is creating a problem for the Terrace snowplowing crew. With at least one more major storm predicted in the next few days, we've run out of places to put the snow. That means Mark Vincent and his crew have to move the existing mounds to the dead-end portion of Hyland Drive or they will have nowhere to put the next plowing.
And, because nothing in life is free, that will mean an extra expense on our treasury. That is on top of the anticipated costs of replacing two trees knocked down by an early-December windstorm. Luckily, removal of the trees cost us nothing since our Grounds Committee cut up and hauled them off. We'll be detailing all the winter-related expenses at our spring meeting.
Meanwhile, we ask that everyone pitch in to be sure cars are parked only where they do not interfere with plowing, especially if you're having guests who add to the parking load.
Thanks, and enjoy the view.
