The recent snowstorm did not live up to my or the National Weather Service expectations. I do have to admit at my abode, its an ideal snow for skiing, etc. It would have been nice if Mother Nature was a bit more generous.
One of the annual challenges at Lassen Volcanic National Park each spring is snow removal on the park’s highway. The 1941 road opening provides a glimpse of the work involved. On May 19, work started on the snow removal where the crew literally worked around the clock until the job was completed. In this instance, due to heavy snows, the job was not done until July 9. During those eight weeks, 21 million cubic feet of snow was moved.
