The last blog entry suggested a new unit of measuring snow in towns - "the truck", I feel it would create confusion since trucks right now are trucking snow away to make volune available for the next snow fall clearance. Still it is to be considered along with a density of people - milli-people per square meter.
It brings to mind a bridge I once saw in the middle of a field - no roads anywhere. What was it bridging? And why was it built, for what purpose? The Romans built their aqueducts in sections by teams of paid workers. After surveying the land, the bridges were built and then the connecting canals. I lived near the Eifel Aqueduct and saw the fit of canal to bridge wasn't always perfect. Here is an example at Vussem:
Not even clear what was under it except for snow.
