New meaning
of Pot Holes in Prince Rupert
Cow Bay area
– at first there were fake tulips in these pots |
|
As city
infrastructure continues to decline – mainly because of budget cutting – We look at some
images/ ideas brought by recent heavy snow From
comparative ‘insulation’ surveys to recycling sand to shrub damage etc |
|
No
insulation in attic? |
|
|
Recent
snow storm allows quick visual check of how well houses are insulated – and comparison
with neighbors Above
image houses are all WW2 vintage (wartime 4’s?) and presumably built at same
time --- it would be interesting to make a ‘picture’ book comparing how
different owners have modified over years – some are quite extraordinary |
|
|
Where does
all this ‘sand’ go after snow melts? Presumably
much will go down the street drains and rest will be swept up by city--- too
bad there is not some way to ‘recycle it as it is presumably valuable and a
finite resource locally |
|
|
|
|
Downed trees
etc |
|
The
most lasting ‘legacy’ of the unusual snow storm is the destruction/ damage to
so many trees and shrubs (see my CN
trail page) – all over town ornamentals
etc damaged, limbs down etc—will be interesting to see how trees and shrubs
like these respond over time – will grow ‘straight’ again with spring etc
(here near Rushbrook floats) |

Previous ‘We See’

Here is page
from when snow was heaviest etc |
