Instead of simply pushing snow onto your lawn/sidewalk, the city's new snow-clearing machine packs and deposits the frozen water in such a manner as to make snowbrick castle walls, complete with crenellations, across the front of everyone's lawn. (v.2 does window and door openings as well).
To solve the problem of driveway blocking, turrets are built at the corners.-- FlyingToaster, Feb 07 2010 Prompted by Street_20gang_20plow [FlyingToaster, Feb 07 2010] with prior-art nods to Ho_20Ho_20Ho_2c_20l...0it_20snow_2e_2e_2e [FlyingToaster, Feb 07 2010, last modified Feb 10 2010] and homage to Tails_20For_20All [FlyingToaster, Feb 07 2010, last modified Feb 10 2010] Calvin & Hobbes re snow and the meaning of life. http://farm1.static...72_4ea2d9e35c_o.gifCouldn't find the one about snow forts.
