I was kind of wondering the same thing myself.

Major Kong, those are some amazing pictures, but I have a question.
What is your job there?

What do you do?

Thanks,

Rogue

Hey Major... How much snow was dumped in that blizzard? WE just got the remnats of it i think on Newyears night / sunday morning..... we ended up with 6-10 inches. Closed some roads because of white out conditions. And all this was after Thursdays ice storm so the roads/etc are pretty bad in places around here... I did finally get plowed out last night so we were'nt stuck for days anyway....

The short of it is you can get a better price on fleet vehicles that are white. The vehicles have the bright orange reflective stripes though. We are starting to get vehicles that are dark red with silver reflective stripes.

Gord...It's still snowing up there! So far I would estimate about 3' of snow has fallen up there at work. We were darn lucky to have gotten out Saturday evening. Down here at home it's been raining all day, but they're calling for about 1' of snow tonight and tomorrow.

Yeah, that's a fine theory until you get your truck shagged by a randy polar bear
