Along the narrow Solvägen in Kroksta in Örnsköldsvik, residents were seen throwing snow with both shovels and slingshots during Monday morning. The wind and the large amount of snow that fell during the night had turned the driveways of the villa area into a wavy sea of snow.
– It must have come a meter in total, I would guess. I think we could have done with half, says Arne Burholm, who uses his snow blower to move the snow.
“Woke up with a backache”
The neighbor opposite, Tomas Lindberg, does not have a snow blower, but the high and wide barrier that the plow embankment forms between the driveway and the road makes him dream of one.
– Yes, it would have been good today. It’s probably a good investment. Woke up to this this morning with back pain. But you just have to make the best of the situation.
More snow
At the same time as the piles of snow at the side of the entrances to the residential area grow higher and higher, the snow continues to fall. According to the weather forecast, at least until Tuesday evening.
– It will be the same job tomorrow. You just have to keep going, says Tomas Lindberg.
