I heard the plow came through to clear the parking lot behind my apartment. It seemed to be spending more time than usual so I went and watched for a minute.

This plow guy was really going out of his way to hit every spot he could. He would make multiple passes to make sure he got the little bits left over on the previous pass. He left nothing on the ground. Really top notch work.

I have never seen the lot get cleared that well. The typical case is the lot gets two car width lanes cleared, but the parking spaces themselves are not cleared at all. The turn around spots are not cleared. And in most cases, the last parking space or garage stall is blocked with a huge pile of packed snow blocking one unlucky driver in.

It is so rare that I see people doing anything well. I could not help but notice and admire.

It is very likely, his boss will tell him he took too long and didn't hit enough spots, and yell at him for doing a complete job.

That's Mr. Plow, that's his name, that name again is Mister Plow.

You have to figure, if you have a plow, and you're in the process of plowing, why not plow the WHOLE lot, especially if there aren't any cars there? Seems like common sense to me, so it's nice to hear that the plow driver has some. Hopefully he'll continue in the same fashion until this snownado is over and I'll have somewhere clear to park tomorrow :)
