Washington Digs Out - Part II
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-02-10/washington-digs-out-part-ii
The Washington region is responding to its second significant snowfall in less than a week. It's a sequence of winter weather that's pushing the public and public officials to the brink. We get updates from those coordinating the response -- from clearing the roads to restoring power.

Hi Kojo,
Can your guests say something about how heavy it is to remove a foot of the kind of snow here, which is heavier than my hometown in upstate NY(Triple CIties)? (where all the schools are closed today, I might note)!
Saving your back and roof: Next time, if you have a long drive, park on the street end of it facing out. Then you have to dig out less of that heavy snow. Also, we have something called a Snow Rake, that I have not seen for sale here, used to remove snow safely from sloping roofs.
Re parking: Also, our public parking garage at least in Arlington is allowing people to park inside for the duration for a reasonable daily rate.
Wouldn’t it help if we have a snow emergency parking policy in local jurisdictions to get more cars off the street for a regional rate.
