Blizzard of 2009

Picture out my kitchen window (taken with my Blackberry Storm 2) so far 18 inches and still snowing…

There is a (probably apocryphal) story I’ve heard a few times over the years from travelers to China about the Chinese method of snow removal in the provinces. Basically they drive a diesel tanker down the road with the rear valves open to spray fuel on the road. Then they light the fuel. Very effective, I’m told.

If anyone can confirm or refute this story, please let me know.

Heading out for bonfire and sledding now!
