How to Remove Snow in Moscow, Russia ! ! !

These men are shoveling snow off the roof of the apartment building next to ours. The next day they shoveled the snow off of our roof. (I don't think I want this job) . . . . .

. . . . . these men are breaking up the ice and shoveling it into a nice little, I mean big, pile. (I don't want this job either) . . . .

. . . . . this scooper machine scoops up the snow that has been shoveled off the roofs and the ice that has been broken up and put into a nice pile by the hard-working crew . . . . .

. . . . . the dump truck guy waits patiently at the end of our driveway for more snow . . . . .

. . . . . the snow scooper takes the snow over to the waiting dump truck . . . .

. . . . . and the scooper guy dumps the snow into the dump truck and it is hauled off to the mysterious snow melting place. THE END

Vot nash dome (here is our home). Our apartment building. We are on the second floor behind the tree with no leaves. I started taking pictures of the inside and the battery on the camera went dead. I'm recharing it now. So...inside pictures to come.

Me in front of our apartment building. This is a nice apartment building for Russian standards. I'll post pitures of the inside in a couple a days when I have more time.

This is one of the little neighborhood grocery stores (there are many of them) . . . .

. . . .and the neighborhood clothes store.

This is in our neighborhood. It is a picture of a crew chopping the ice and shoveling it and the snow off the road. What a hard job but good job security for Russian winters.

Dennis standing by a snow bank in our neighborhood. They do a good job of snow removal, but there's just so much of it they have to pile a lot of it up on the side walks. It's so cold here, and there's not too many "thaw days" like in Salt Lake City.
