l don't remember which one was more fun. Folding frozen stiff snow and ice covered tarps or trying to cover a load with frozen stiff snow and ice covered tarps. And trying to stay standing up on top of the load while doing it! lol No ropes over here Paul. Rubber straps with "S" hooks on them. The colder it gets the less elasticity they have. And the load straps frozen onto the winches with road spray. OH back when it was fun. When l drove for Georgia Pacific (lumber and building supplies) we would leave with 8-12 stops under two tarps. Seems there was always something that needed to be covered right to the last stop of the day. .....Hippy

Looks like the load was coming apart before he hit the snow. Two strap winches toward the front might be he had forward securement that didn't hold. As far as the cab, that should buff out. .....Hippy

Looking at what you are shoveling out of your driveway Tom l'm glad for our sub zero temps and 18" of powder. Take it that driver never thought the load would slide forward. l don't see any type of headboard or extra securement to hold it back. .....Hippy

lt says it happened in NH, Manchester has a Lake Av. .....Hippy

For Joey and Tom.

l'm not sure where this is from but, LOL! GET OUT OF THE WAY! Blizzard of '78 in Manchester NH we were a contractor for the city. Two six wheelers plowing, ten wheeler hauling snow, and a loader doing the alleys. The plows were told to just keep the streets open. When it let up push it back to the curb, well by that time everyone had almost cleaned out their driveways. We lost two windshields from thrown shovels and not the cheap plastic ones! AH back when it was fun. .....Hippy

We had hired plows/snow removal crews. Once they were done with the parking lot they were gone. You can not even use a snow blower on that stuff. lt comes off the roof and lands so hard it packs like a rock. Working for a world wide company -DHL- they didn't think we needed a yard truck or a plow. .....Hippy

That's an on the spot ticket here in NH! And the snow will be cleaned off before you move. Tractor trailers with snow on the roof of the trailer that get stopped. The police will call a road side repair service to come out and shovel it off for you. And you know the driver/company will be charged for the road call. We had an overhead V-plow to do the trailer roofs in our yard. Problem was you had to shovel the snow that landed on the ground to the side before the next truck drove through. .....Hippy

Heat wave Wednesday! .....Hippy Tonight's Weather Tue, Jan 27 Clearing and bitterly cold Lo: -5° Tomorrow: Cold with plenty of sunshine Hi: 22°

Braintree Mass PD Facebook post. The Braintree Police Department posted a humorous message before the snowstorm, commenting on the rush to supermarkets and telling residents, "Don't crime." .....Hippy
