The last few snowfalls around here have all been lighter than expected after the dramatic storm that buried us in a couple of feet of snow a couple of weeks ago. But no matter how little snow they leave behind, the crew has dutifully shown up to clear the parking lot. It's a pretty crazy process, as they come and start plowing the middle of the lot and blaring on the horn to notify us to move our cars so they can plow that area as well. They work so fast that I have to rush like crazy to get out of their way. The good news is the whole process usually lasts less than 10-15 minutes, but it's enough of an adrenaline rush trying to get out of their way that I can probably start skipping my coffee on snowy mornings.
