Considering the weather forecast, the road clearing crews in Glacier may be engaged in an exercise in futility. Here’s their cryptic progress report, as of April Fools Day:

Punch line translation…although the pictures tell the story, don’t they? “Ever wonder how the man who drives the snow plow, drives TO the snowplow?”
