Blizzard after blizzard
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 5:56 am
It is almost 6 am and I can't sleep. There is a blizzard brewing and will soon be here in Fall River. We had about 5 inches of snow yesterday and last night. That is on top of the three feet of snow that has accumulated in the past few weeks.
This storm is our second blizzard. This Florida gal is not used to high winds with snow! I am sort of excited by the weather---I don't want to miss it.
Winter in Fall River is fraught with problems. We are a city that has very little money, having wasted it on unnecessary expenditures. The snow plow guys work all the time, it seems, and a snow plow driver from Fall River hit and killed a woman in a parking lot in Boston. The police arrived and saw the crying man cradling the woman, praying for her soul. So sad.
I think they need to not work so much. This is their money season, however.
Last week, a snow plow driver in the south end of the city got too close to the cars parked on the road and ended up taking off about 6 side mirrors as he passed by.
I hear the wind right now. It is howling a bit. We are expecting gusts of 60 mph! And another 8-10 inches of snow.
This photo is now. Weather Underground has several live cams of the city in various places. I just pulled them off the net.
The funniest thing is that when people dig out their parking spaces on the street, they think they own that spot. So they have taken to placing chairs and couches and barrels in the spot when they go to work so the spot is there when they come home again later. The funniest ones I have seen online on the FaceBook group Grew Up in Fall River are these:
Stay warm my friends.
