Thankfully not!

I'm the chief engineer, a facility testing snow removal tools and processes. After snow events, the single employee...
Our mission statement "sNo Flakes Sustain Harm In Research Or Disposal"
Right now we are encased in three layers; a] freezing rain b] damp snow c] mixed sleet & freezing rain. Resultant crust impenetrable by socially acceptable means, especially those with flying debris.
So, it appears I'm on strike.

I was at a surplus salvage yard in Akron Oh one winter when they had much the same type of snow ice snow fall. about 18" of the stuff so this mechanic gets the bright Idea to clear the drive way and side walk with the steam cleaner. So here he is happy as a polar bear catching fish through a hole in the ice just melting this stuff away there is a fog cloud hovering around him . Snow ice and a powerful blast of live steam condenses and re freezes behind him into a sheet of ice smoother than a hockey rink floor in the -20° weather. after an hour of hard work the situation is 100 times worse than before he started.
The poor guy finally realized it was a loosing battle and went off to find a roll of Astro-turf to cover it . His boss said why didn't you think of that an hour ago?
