Snow Blower Rage
 

Just heard this story on the radio whilst dropping kidlet off at school - can't find a link - maybe someone else can?

Anyway - in Edmonton yesterday a 40 odd year old man got a 71 year old woman neighbour by the throat when she blew snow from her path onto his cleared driveway. A war of snow-blowers - each blowing on to each others' paths commenced until finally the guy lost it and started to insult the woman - then the neck incident - then the woman's hubby (72 I thinkthey said) waded in - he got punched - the 40 year old is now up on charges. :eek:

Whew - those snow-blowers are trouble! :unsure:;)

Who knew huh? :confused:

It's obvious that they haven't been reading our "Snow shoveling etiquette" thread. :mad::p

Whoops - looks like I was listening to the national news not the local like I assumed!!:o My bad.

Glad you found it - thanks - I kept checking the Edmonton websites all day and couldn't see anything - I was beginning to think I was going mad. :blink:

A snow blower war would be pretty big news locally - when we first arrived, there was a news report on the fact that some guy had had his carrots nicked from the garden in his front yard! That one ran for days.

Alternatively, it could be a duplicate incident afterall, and that snow-blowers have been sent to us from the dark beyond to incite violence and madness amongst normally calm and happy people... But probably not. :rofl:

Thanks again :thumbsup:

..as opposed to the U.S where a teenage was shot and killed for stepping on a person's grass.
