The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
While you’re digging out from the late October storm, I thought you might like to see how they do it out West – specifically, between Goodland, KS and Limon, CO.
That sure moves a lot of snow in a hurry! I wonder how many cars get buried by it at railroad crossings like that?

Better question: How to get that thing up into my driveway next time we get hit like this?
Check this out not trying to hijack the post but this is the snowplow we "BNSF" uses. This is parked in our shop now getting ready for this winter. Rotary Snowplow.http://youtu.be/KCqEBdjaXpM
In places where we get lots of snow, we tend to take the removal thereof very seriously. The train-mounted snowblower is matched by a similar machine on the highways here in Anchorage – it's brought out only when we get 18" or more in a single snowfall. That happens two or three times per winter, but that sucker moves a LOT of snow in a hurry!
I've seen similar used on the roads in Iowa and Minnisnowta, and woe betide the driver who decides to whip around the beast in order to pass it!
