Michael: That big snow bank will just have to wait. I never go north of the No.7 highway in winter anymore. I was at a plowing match last summer, met up with a guy from Lucan. Happened to mention my experiences in Woodham last winter. He said," Number 7 highway was built along the edge of a snowbank in July a few years back."

I was thinking a bit about this subject after I posted last evening. I know Nova Scotians are getting bad on this not slowing down on icey, snowy roads in poor visability, but their not quite as bad as Ontarians. I was thinking what is the difference. Well of course your roads are straighter, but its more than that, then it hit me. Nova Scotians are just getting bad on the new super highways with no obsticals in the ditches. There is the answer, what you need is a few granite rock the size of a pickup along the ditches, and by gosh, I'll bet they will slow down when the driving gets bad.

This visability item is another matter that intrigues me also. We had winds like this on the east coast, and snow didn't blow around like it does here. Down there many on the storms end with a south wind and rain or near rain condition. This puts a crust on the snow, then it doesn't move around.

What we need Mike is a snow blower that diverts part of the snow by a heat source, melts it and blows it out as water, thus sealing that blowing snow in. A guy could probably get a Canada Council Grant for developing something like that. The other thing we could do Mike is go into the rock business. Talk governments into lining the ditches with granite. Just think of the benefit, people would learn to slow down, and OPP officers would have a lot more time for other duties during inclement weather. Why they could even go to Tim's.
