North Idaho, the Palouse, the surrounding region, doesn't have the resources for it. Roofs are collapsing. People that live in rural areas, the roads are blocked. There's nowhere to put the snow. It takes tractor blowers, and there aren't any, to lift the snow over the berms from the plows.
Emergency Services has little time to respond to those in need, calling for help, medical or otherwise (such as 'out-of-food' or heat or whatever).
Federal Emergency Management is required.
The water-shed of Priest and Pend Orielle need be lowered. Too little water was let out, and that's not to say that the experts didn't do their jobs correctly. But it's a setup for failure, and the person(s) to blame have already been selected, 'pre-approved' for hatred, to be terminated for the inevitable results. Chinook.
The snow-pack in the mountains last year was incredible. It came the same time of year it usually does. January.
We haven't got to January YET, and we're nearly at that snow-pack level, regardless of what the 'moisture-content' higher-ed 'genius-experts' have to say about it. The water-shed needs be lowered -- even if it takes pumps to do it -- 'just in case' -- Chinooks ... do you know what those are? Think about it. Ask anybody that grew up here, but not the higher-ed 'genius-experts,' because they are 'too busy' getting paid to 'study' and ridicule and scorn all those that have to suffer through it -- and they HOPE for it -- HOPE for DISASTER and the photo-ops that go along with it -- just like Hurricane Katrina -- and you know WHO TOOK THE BLAME FOR THAT.
Unfortunately, the large 'aircraft runway' type tractor blowers and plows are too large for the rural roads. Many are just one-lane to begin with -- and many two-lane roads are reduced to one lane right now. The one-lane roads, one-lane in summer, are the hardest hit and home-owners with 4-wheel-drive pickups and 7-ft or 8-ft plows on the front, have nowhere to put the snow. 10-foot blades may hit telephone junction box equipment, sign-posts, etc. -- it's a highly unusual situation. (I smoothed my one-lane road so the hydraulics and blades of plow-blades would not get broken -- I did that last month before it snowed, as the pot-holes and runoff gullies had grown deep -- I prepared as best I could for it).
Will you do my road please? And there are so many others. Give me a tractor-plow -- I'll return it, after I drive it night and day all winter to ensure Defensive Services Access.
Don't forget about the water-shed -- it MUST BE LOWERED.
Fly some equipment to Bonner County and surrounding counties, please. Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Clayton Winton
