What are we looking at, Andy?  Slide debris or plow debris?

Plow debris in the parking lot.

had scotsman dug his pit in the parking lot he would have known just how much the plow was about to spread on top of him.

I would not have had to dig a pit because just by the feel of the tires on the parking lot surface I would have been able to determine depth, consistency, shear value and CT results. Pus I would have done a donut which is the parking lot equivalent of a ski cut. ;)

Parking lot was good for donuts ::)

and yet...those plows can come out of nowhere!  sneaky little buggers.  almost as dangerous as hitching a ride with a tourist from the Narrada parking lot.  not that i've ever *cough* done that.  ever.
