Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

    I’ve never heard of this, & I’m Canadian.

    I imagine out east, in the Maritimes, they’d have to put marker-poles on the things, because they sometimes get 5’ of snow in a single onslaught, but …

    … it simply isn’t something I’d ever heard-of.

    Our fire-departments deal with the snow & ice every ( normal, not now ) winter.

    shrug

      Isn’t the street that concrete area from where the picture was taken? So if a snow plough comes to remove the snow, it essentially would burry the hydrant.
