The Aftermath Of An Ice Storm Is More Than Just Beautiful Scenery

Nice shoot. We got clobbered in MA too! My opinion differs from yours concerning private ownership of the public ways.

Privatization in theory sounds good enough on paper. However, drawing upon examples of private "mangled care" and megacorporate mergers that squeeze out competitors means the other extreme can be just as incompetent...if not more. Our present condition of the global economy also attests that private capitalism allowed to run amuck collapses the foundation it built itself upon.

we didnt have power for well over a month

No offense, but we are in a state of emergency because of the weather...you really shouldn't have been out driving unless totally necessary. I worry about the issues people on the road caused who were in the way...people taking photos and video were a hinderance to emergency crews in my area. I do understand the documentation of such a storm, but maybe next time, walk a bit with the camera rather than drive? Just an opinion.

You are dumb....

nothing could have made the roads open fast in that part of the state. I am lucky, the heavy ice was higher then the elevation of my house otherwise, I would have a skylight. That was the worst ice storm in years and you complain that the roads are closed down. My friends have no power or phone and some will not for days. Ice storms happen and to rage of the lack of responce?

What ever...

you should have said...

Holy f#@%, this is bad

Sorry you are having such a difficult time getting to the end of your journey. Last year the blizzard was on the day of the Boston Tea Party but like you OLFOD volunteers weathered the storm and drove thru to be there! Will be watching for your arrival. Thanks for spreading the word :-)

I'' be watching the weather carefully to avoid such weather when I head that direction. I'll be arriving to NH in about 1 month.

damn.

i live in MA but it wasnt even close to this bad where im at.

but my mom is still without power.

I'd almost offered to save you the cost of that rental car but held off because I figured you don't need to enter NH with this cold... Probably just as well VT and MA get a little wierd about people "improving their roads" and I've developed a habit of carrying a chainsaw on days like yesterday.

In an odd coincidence, we've been given a dog name Jake...

[LumpyRevolution]

We need you here too Rafe!

Bring your chainsaw!
