Brutal, brutal year




These flexible orange snow sticks are meant to guide plows after a snowfall. Ordinarily, these sturdy fiberglass rods stand up quite well, proudly showing workers the line between driveway and flower beds and lawns, minimizing damage to landscaping. But this year has been a tough one for all concerned, as these battered warriors can attest.
Today we are bracing for a new attack. Over a foot is on the way, they say. Snow crews will just have to locate our driveways by memory this time.
We're out of sticks.
