Let me know if dupe

sometimes the temptation to dig a fort in the big snowbank by the road is just too great.

kids being kids, My mom and dad would have had at least a general idea of where I would have been playing though.

Yep.

And then "Mr. Plow" comes and ruins everything!

One of the first things you learn as a kid around here is not to play in the snowbanks by the road....these damn mild winters, parents are slipping on lessons.

I know the area very well. Nothing good comes out of Newburgh.

+1  We live in a rural area, our granddaughter goes out to play with her friends and will spend hours outside.  I look out the window and keep an "ear" out for her so I would hope to have heard a snow plow but it is a good reminder to talk with her.  I had a long talk with her the first snow about getting out of the way of vehicles long before she thinks she needs too.  (in case a car can't stop).  We even played with ice and hot wheels to show her how hard it was to stop a sliding car.  But, it never occurred to me she could be buried by a snow plow (hey I spent winters in So. Cal as a kid!)



 

I believe the first time thy were buried may have been an accident, but twice now?

In Newburg they usually bury them in the dirt....
Boys are lucky to have gotten out of this one alive.
