bedfull_o_books and I joke about that too.

Yesterday we passed one of those random private contractor trucks with plows that do so much work moving snow around here and she said, "That's what they need over there, more of those." I said no one in the South East would ever get one because we just got more snow in two days than London gets in an average decade.

However, it did occur to me that there are probably lots of them up in Scotland, where they actually get real snow. Sure enough, I did a search for "snowplow Scotland" and came up with this photo of one on a Defender in Perth, Scotland: https://www.flickr.com/photos/49959666@N04/6661536275

My dad did research near Tioga Pass for years. He was a biologist. He worked out of a resort near the pass and one year could not start his measurements until late July, because snow.

Yeah. frotz once described snow removal on the Trans-Labrador Highway that way.

A Defender with a snow plow? God, there's an expensive combination of equipment to maintain.
