Last night Hampton Roads got a little snow. Not much, just about 2 inches (maybe three to exagerate a bit). To our credit, it did immediately turn into ice. Anything that had a hard surface, roads, cars, rooftops, all coated with ice. At 4:30 AM my mother-in-law heard a car crash in front of her house, she looked outside, but saw nothing. In the morning, this...
If the neighbor's car (now with hanging bumper), had not deflected the on coming car, my in-laws would have had a very unwelcome guest. Now look at the pole, see that horizontal stay? There's a guide wire that drops to the ground about 7 feet out. The hit and run driver managed to squeeze his car between two poles and guide wires in front of two other houses. Looks like the guy made a clean get away, too.
