Views out the Window 3

Well I'm still looking at life out the window, although today I took myself across town to a short meeting.

Here's how Minnesota handles snowfall. Last evening a snow emergency began at 9 PM and the plows were here for the north/south street by 10 PM. This morning the plow is back for the east/west street which is the major direction for all the streets in this housing area.

 I got a good picture because the plow was stopped for a few moments waiting for a parked car to move. One is supposed to move cars for a snow emergency, but I think this year St. Paul has given up on towing cars. The plow waited so the street could be plowed more to the curb. The street where we pull out of the garage has narrowed down to about one lane if there are cars parked on each side, so it is becoming important to get the plowing done to the real sides of the street.

With snow comes tracks. And what critter made these tracks?

Answer: It's the two-legged Qwest service man. The white boxes have something to do with Qwest phone lines. And it seems like 2 or 3 times a week someone has to walk from the street to the boxes.
