Fuel for Thought

Mud and Snow

          Today I sit in Baltimore, Maryland after delivering here last night.  I picked up a load in West Virginia, 2 drums which weighed just over 1000 lbs total making for a nice ride.  I had a pretty smooth ride, and the roads had been cleared the whole way... which was good... as in Northern West Virginia and Maryland, I passed some ridiculous snow piles, and drifts.  Some places still had not dug out.  I took this pic near the Maryland border, of two dump trucks that were still buried.

In some places, snow was piled higher than my van, and to leave the fuel pumps felt like I was driving down a hall way! I couldn't see anything on either side of me but snow.

The flip side of it was driving thru some areas that the snow had already melted due to the recent warm up (high 30's, 40's in some areas).  The large amount of snow melting on alraeady saturated ground, turned many areas into mudpits.  So instead of looking nice and green, there were just huge brown swampy areas. Not purdy LOL.
