On the Road with Dick McCorkle

Hi folks!
Well folks, we had a whooper of a snow storm. I returned home Friday around noon and it had just started to snow. By three p. m. it was bad slick roads, blowing, and drifting snow. All events were cancelled and schools let out early. So, I got the plow truck out Saturday morning, cleaned my drive out and started to town. I made it about a quarter of a mile…there was a snow drift five feet high a half a mile long. I couldnt push it. My neighbor has a John Deere with a bucket on the front. He broke the snow loose and I plowed thru it. Then I started plowing out my neighbors. I went over to where my son lives and plowed him and his neighbors out. We are a small community and neighbors help neighbors. Most of the time the farmers get to the roads way before the county plow trucks come thru. As I am not always home, I thank my neighbors and farmers for their help when I am gone. After several hours of plowing, I went home and watched TV the rest of the day. Oh yes, I was stuck in the snow several times!
Until next time be safe.
Dick
