Here’s an older take on the snow chain from Ottawa that was made for the amusement and education of small children.
See what happens to the lost toy that gets sucked up when the snow is removed.
Can I get some enthusiasm for the classic ‘Snowplows on Patrol’ here?!!
PBOT sent an email to announce that 5 of 56 snowplows now have names, courtesy of a contest. Thankfully, none of them are named for a Nazi frog.

I'm waiting for Snowmageddon here in the Raleigh area... A guy in Texas with whom I work shared an image with this description: "My buddy sent this from Kansas which is kinda of awesome. Realtime snowplow tracking but the names..."

Near me in #Chicago, there's a long tradition of "calling #dibs" on any parking spot where a nearby resident went through the trouble of shoveling the deep #snow away. Usually, people use a lawn chair or milk carton cube.
But some people like to do it with more flair than others.
