a lot of snow, and some surreal moments

For those of you in Ottawa, you're well aware that this winter we've received an insane amount of snow. I dont remember ever seeing this much snow before. It's been coming down pretty steady since early November, and personally I'm getting sick of it.

I saw two things yesterday that confimred that I'm probably not the only one who's sick of the snow.

Coming back from doing errands on my lunch hour, I saw two sidewalk plows (which I affectionately call "dinky plows") drag racing. One was on the sidewalk, the other one was on the road. The drivers were staring at each other with maniacal grins. I hope there were no pedestrians in the way as they were definitely not looking where they were going.

About 2 minutes later, I saw a big plow STUCK in a snowbank. Probably a snowbank that it had just made. The wheels were spinning and the plow was up but there was no way that plow was going anywhere. I bet the driver of that plow is sick of the snow!

Too funny.
