Chapter 71 The Scary Snow

It's been four days and it's still snowing.It hasn't stopped for a few days.In fact, it can’t be said that it hasn’t stopped. The snow falls intermittently, and the snowfall doesn’t stop for a long time in the middle.Some people stay in the house all day and don't come to see it. They may not know that the snow has stopped.

Four days of continuous snowfall caused a thick layer of snow outside.Tang Guo roughly estimated that the average thickness of the snow cover was at least [-] centimeters.

For the first time, he felt that winter, ice and snow were so terrible.Snow, only when it is moderate, will feel that it is nature, a gift brought to people in winter.You will feel that snow is beautiful and fun.And when it falls too much and too hard, it becomes a snowstorm.At this time, the surrounding scenery is still beautiful, but people are not very interested in admiring it.

Not to mention traveling, they feel troubled in this small world.

They have to shovel snow every day, which is a lot of work.For example, the road to the bathroom and the vegetable garden next to it must be cleared.

You don't have to go to other places, but do you mean that you can not go to these two places if you don't want to go?

And in the vegetable garden, the snow in front of the three greenhouses has to be cleared, right?Otherwise how to pick vegetables?

The snow on the roof of the greenhouse also needs to be cleared every day.Although they use high-quality plastic film, isn't there such news on the Internet?It is said that the house was collapsed by the snow.Although the quality of a house that can be crushed by snow is definitely not good, it should be much better than plastic film, right?

Yan Ting welded a very long, flexible and lightweight pole.There are two main uses, one is to shake off the snow on the banyan tree from time to time.

Every day when I wake up, I can see that the snow has accumulated for nearly a day and night, and the branches of the banyan tree are bent.If I don't help shake the snow off, I'm afraid the branches will be crushed by the snow.Such a beautiful tree, it's a pity that the branches are broken.

The second is to scrape off the snow on the rain shield.Although the rain shield was originally designed, it was tilted down.But there is still a lot of snow accumulated on it. They still need to scrape the snow off, so as not to break it due to negligence.

Attach something like a crossbar to the top of the pole and move the ladder out of the yard.Two people held the ladder below, and one stood on the ladder to scrape snow.With such a pull on the snow, large flakes of snow fell off.

In fact, it looks quite cool. This kind of scene is most suitable for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.There will be a sense of accomplishment when all the big chunks of snow on him are removed.

But today's work is more than that.After a few days, the snow on the roof is already very thick.They originally installed several solar panels on the roof.It is supported by a shelf, a short distance from the ground.Later, Lu Zhongze improved it. Through computer operation, it can change the direction of the light according to the direction of the sun every day. This kind of non-stop movement keeps the bare board from being covered with snow. However, if the snow is too thick, it will reach the minimum distance from the ground to the bare board. , it will hinder the movement of the light board.

After all, there is a lot of work, and it is impossible for everyone to flock to finish one thing before doing other things, which will be a waste of time.And each job does not require so many people.

Therefore, at the beginning, shoveling snow to clear the road, clearing the snow from the greenhouse, and shaking the snow from the banyan tree were all carried out together.Everyone has something to do, no one is idle.

Later, when it comes to scraping off the snow on the flashing board and sweeping the snow off the roof, the labor is divided into two groups.

Tang Guo, Jiang Qi and Bai Li were in charge of the rain shield.The two of them fixed the ladder below, and Bai Li scraped the snow.

The group cleaning the roof are Yan Ting, Lu Zhongze and Tang Feng.

The house originally did not have concrete stairs leading directly to the roof, only wooden stairs placed across the back wall.Later, when I remodeled the house and thought of installing solar panels on it, I thought it was inconvenient, so I added it.

When they built the warehouse, the warehouse was partly aligned parallel to the house.Moreover, the heights of the two rooms are the same, so they simply asked the master to build a cement ladder in the middle of the two rooms.In this way, the cement ladder is shared by two rooms, and it is convenient to go anywhere.

Today they went to the roof to shovel snow, because there are stairs and handrails, so there is no need for someone to support them.But the snow on the ladder is also high, so they need to remove the snow from the stairs before they go to the roof to remove snow.

The main force was Yan Ting and Lu Zhongze, and Tang Feng mainly helped them deliver things.

After shoveling the snow on the stairs, Tang Feng hurriedly passed over the industrial salt and sprinkled it on, otherwise it would freeze easily and it would be difficult to get down.

In fact, when they first prepared the supplies, they didn't even think about industrial salt. Later, when they watched a picture of snow removal on the road on TV, they realized that this thing was useful, so they went to buy it.Just in time for this year.

It took a long time for everyone to finish the work.After putting away the tools that should be collected, we went into the house together to keep warm.

Tang Guo rubbed his hands and walked into the living room: "It's cold, it's too cold. I feel like this hand doesn't even belong to me."

As soon as Jiang Qi came in, he put his hand on the stove.The cold hand suddenly touched something hot, and it was still a little numb.He sighed, "Finally alive."

Although the few people in the back didn't want to be as exaggerated as them, it can be seen from their affection that they are also very cold.

Tang Ma hurriedly brought two basins and poured warm water into them, "Hurry up and soak your hands, so it won't be too cold."

Yan Ting reached out and soaked it in: "Thank you, Mom!"

Others followed suit.

Tang Ma said with a smile, "Thank you?! Your dad and I also want to help, but if you don't let me, I can only help pour some water."

Father Tang: "Have you finished all the work outside?"

Tang Feng nodded: "Yeah! It's better to finish all at once, if it's cold, it's cold once. Otherwise, I would have come back to enjoy the fire."

Tang Ma brought the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen again: "I cooked dumplings, it's better to eat something warm at this time."

Lu Zhongze took the bowl with a smile: "I happen to be a little hungry, so I'll fill my stomach first."

Put dumplings on everyone's bowls, and everyone started eating.

Jiang Qi ate a delicious dumpling and said with satisfaction: "There is nothing more convenient and delicious than dumplings at this time."

Tang Feng: "Fortunately, we have come here a long time ago. If we were to come here now, we would not be able to come here. I don't know how sad life will be."

Compared with this year, last year is nothing short of a big deal.

At that time, they felt that the snowstorm was very serious, but they did not expect that it would be several times worse this year.

The snow was too thick. When I opened the gate of the yard and looked at the road below, there were almost no vehicles passing by, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

Travel has become a problem, and almost no one goes to the market.Although everyone vaguely knew that this winter would be difficult, they all saved more food by coincidence.The staple food is okay, what about the dishes?Can the dishes still be stored for several months?

Even if there are really so many dishes, it must be a minority.And everyone doesn't think that the snow will keep falling, so they won't prepare so much, right?

It has only snowed for a few days now, and many people have enough food at home, so they are all in peace.I'm afraid that if the snow keeps falling, and the various functional departments can't solve the problem properly, then all kinds of troubles will definitely appear slowly.

This is true in the south, not to mention the north.The news broadcast in the past few days, reports on snow disasters, took up a large part of the time.

It can be seen from the camera that the snow over there is heavier and the temperature is lower.Walking outside, no matter how many cotton coats you put on, you are still cold.

The female reporter wrapped herself up like a ball and wore a thick and big hat.If it wasn't for recording news, she would probably have to wear a mask and expose her eyes to the air.

The traffic is basically paralyzed. There are snow plows still working on the main traffic roads in the city, but there are no other places.The snow was piled up high, and the places that had not been touched in the past few days were actually as high as 1.6 meters, and those who were less than 1.6 meters could be buried alive.

The government has issued a series of measures to local governments to deal with snow disasters, but how much they can really go on remains to be discussed.

It's not that the local government is ineffective, but the snowstorm is too big, which is a great challenge to people's psychology and physiology.

For example, it was reported that in some areas, high-voltage transmission lines were crushed, and it was impossible to get electricity at all, and power outages occurred in some areas.

In the past two years, high-voltage transmission lines have been updated and repaired, but they are still no match for the power of nature.In other words, the pace of scientific development is far behind its pace.

According to reports, researchers are actively researching conductive materials with good conductivity, excellent toughness and endurance, but this cannot be solved in a short time.

Through the video on the news broadcast, everyone can see that the transmission line is covered with thick ice, and there are many large ice cones hanging vertically downwards, and the transmission line is drooping severely.

What's more, many places are still covered with ice on the thick and large concrete supports that support the high-voltage lines.In this case, how can engineers climb up to solve the problem?

On the one hand, everyone is worried for the engineering personnel and the people in the power outage area, and on the other hand, they are very glad that their life is not too bad or quite happy.

Jiang Qi sighed: "It's okay for people like us or rural residents to say that those who live in high-rise buildings in the city and use electricity for heating and eating are too miserable. They can't stand the power outage for just one day."

Everyone feels the same way.

In the next few minutes, the TV station turned its attention to foreign countries.

Those countries with high latitudes have worse weather and environment than northern my country.

The snow actually buried the first floor of many buildings.Some places are even more serious, so I won't list them one by one.

It also said that many homeless people were directly frozen to death.In fact, Tang Guo believes that this kind of thing also exists in China.It's just that everyone knows that domestic news broadcasts basically report good news but not bad news, and this kind of thing doesn't appear on it.

Everyone has further realized the horror of heavy snow.It looks weak, but it can push people to a corner and even take their lives.Everyone has only a good impression of it.
