I live in Florida so I can't share any snow pics. However by the end of the month I'm sure I'll be able to show some sinkhole pics or pics of a condo collapse !
Forget all this crap about “winter wonderland”. It’s only pretty when it’s coming down and fresh on the ground. Soon turns to crud as it settles, attracts dirt & grime or gets trampled on and driven through. Nasty too when it thaws a bit and refreezes,
That’s a very realistic picture of the difficulty dealing with heavy snow. It has to be a big problem knowing where to dump it in a city that size. Did a quick read. It appears NYC employs huge melting facilities and than runs the resulting water through wastewater treatment before discharging it. Would be a lot easier to doze it into the Hudson - but not ecologically feasible in this day & age.
Was just wondering what Elon Musk might do to improve that scene? I think he’d begin with automated equipment! Maybe attack from the air somehow? Melt the snow with rocket thrust? Hell, I don’t know … But there has to be a better way. We’re talking about a pretty large piece of real estate there.
