For those of us using white canes and guide dogs, life is more complicated as a
pedestrian, and, if you think this is rough, just imagine trying to get around
in a wheel chair.

Subject: [wsmac] Cleaning Snow, Ice off your Vehicle
I just saw a nice black Saab, on East Bridge Street, near 302, having to slow
down and turn his windshield wipers on, after a slab of Snow slid off the roof,
and covered his windshield.
A Friendly Reminder, to everyone, therefore, Take a few minutes to clean off
your vehicle' s ROOF following a Snowstorm. If you have a Pick - Up Truck, A
large SUV, and are a short person like me, use a broom or one of those Squeegee
with a telescoping handle to push or pull the snow off your vehicle roof, or a
short stepladder to more easily reach your roof.
A mix of snow, with freezing rain or sleet can make a real flying thru the air
hazard.
I recall our Biddeford Stations crew, returning to their shop from southern
York County on either Rte. 202 or 4, in our International Corner Mount Truck
with a driver and 2 co-workers in the cab. A Corner Mount has a telescoping
Crane mounted on a Pedestal for lifting heavy, pieces of equipment. A flat
roofed Truck from either a well-known Dairy or Ice Cream Business coming
towards them in the opposite lane, had an ICE coated Slab of SNOW, detach from
the truck' s flat roof and become airborne. It shattered the windshield of our
Corner Mount Truck, but the windshield stayed attached without falling into the
Cab. The Driver of the other truck never knew what happened. I do not know if
they were able to locate the driver.
