Take Care of the Snow

We just had our first significant snowfall last week. We got between 6 and 8 inches. It was enough to cover everything and close down schools for the day. On my way to work the next day, I was annoyed at the number of people who had inches of snow on their cars’ roof as they were driving. They were endangering the drivers around them. It is not that hard to push the snow off the top of your vehicle. It is the respectful thing to do. It shows that you care about the safety of others on the road. To not remove the snow from your car is to decide to be lazy. Lazy and me do not get along.

I also get upset when people do not clear the snow from their fire hydrant. We have one on our property, and we clear it off every time it snows. It is a simple task and requires little effort. If a neighbor were not physically able to clear their hydrant, I would go over and do it for them. It is a simple act that protects our neighborhood. If there is a fire on our street, I do not want the firefighters delayed because they have to clear the snow from a fire hydrant before getting the water they need to fight the fire. 

We need to step up and do the right thing. Be respectful. Move the snow, not just from your car, but from your fire hydrants as well.

Just Be Better

Stay Strong. Stay Healthy
