Clever thing I did today:
Lashed together two 8' PVC pipes, with a t-fitting "handle" on the end, then went outside and knocked snow off the branches threatening to take out the household internetz &c. Having spend 30 minutes wiping, knocking, and pushing branches around to clear our own wires, figured "what the heck" and went up my street looking for cables my neighbors seemed in imminent danger of losing and cleared those, too.
Some serious pruning needs to happen in my neighborhood, but hopefully this will get us through the week.
Things I haven't done yet today: any of my work.
ps. I am now incredibly impressed with urban cable-system engineers. I mean, those things are strong and are strung in such a way to take incredible amounts of expansion and contraction across seasons, and a huge amount of snow-loads. If we do lose power or connectivity, I will still be impressed that so many communities haven't.
pps. Have you notice that there's a fuck of a lot of snow out there?
