"Your plow guy sucks"

  • Wasilla

As a friend mentioned the other day after seeing the picture below, "Your plow guys sucks": 

Wasilla, Alaska - Election Day, 2010

During our first snow storm a few days ago that was indeed all the plow guy plowed, which seemed pretty funny at the time.

I mention this today because he's here again this morning, trying to scrape the thick, bumpy ice off the parking lot, which isn't going very well for him. If he had come yesterday he would have been in and out of here in less than thirty minutes, but by waiting until today the lot has become a thick layer of ice because it rained and snowed more early yesterday followed by very cold temperatures this morning.

So yes, it appears our plow guy sucks.
