26. 大雪
一月29日,显然,不是下雪就是阴天。
以前总是说,现如今全球变暖,再看不到小时候常看到的大雪了。得,这回就大一回让俺瞧着了。
打过了阳历新年,这天就感冒得厉害,阴阳不定的,不给人利落。终于,大约一个星期前,开始瓢雪花,雪不大,随落随化,大家都没在意。都开始进入农历新年的亢奋情绪中,一切都开始带点喜庆气氛了,得空还玩玩雪仗什么的。转眼,小雪变大雪,大雪变暴雪,而且还不停!三寸厚,八寸厚,终于过了膝盖了。新闻说是60厘米以上!半个中国都这样!输电线挂冰棱,电塔受不住,倒了。火车居然停电了,停在什么前不着村后不着店的地界,不知所终!蔬菜也没了,肉也没了,回家过春节的人挂了,都堵火车站了。人们终于意识到:俺的娘唉,灾难啊!
灾难面前,人人平等!首先,蔬菜大家都没的吃了。昨晚在马路边,有小贩摆了二小堆青菜:一堆菠菜,一堆小白菜,开价每斤4块!我还在犹豫呢,眼见着那本来就小的二堆迅速地变得更小,赶紧抓点小白菜。人是铁饭是钢啊!转身进小超市,想买点肉炒炒。得,那卖肉的老爷子,站在空空如也的肉柜后面,笼着双手,迷着眼,露着一颗被香烟熏得黄黑的门牙,直乐!那意思好像是,这会儿你还想买肉!KO!
车子也没法开了。早上起来,看到俺的爱车躲雪堆里严严实实的。想俺也是北美的冰天雪地里摸爬滚打过的,Who怕who啊!就经验老到地先打火,再扫雪。然后就要往外拱。拱!退!扭!问题好像很严重啊!旁边的老哥也是,车子半截在通道中间,恁没能挪窝!俺就借他的铲子试试,八牛一虎之力后,这车仍然岿然不动!俺上年纪了,不想太费力(所以不是九牛二虎之力),遇事也想得开,就要把车退回去,俺腿着去上班!嘿!还回不去了!到今儿个,那车还半扭那,半个头探着,摆了个蓦然回首的动人Pose!
走走也没什么,偏偏俺把北美的雪靴没带回来!是人都没能想到那在北美都少用的雪靴在这儿能用上!歪歪跻跻的,花了一个小时,才到公司。今早上,另一哥们不信邪(更可能是脑子进雪水了!),要俺帮他铲雪,他要开车。得,又一身汉,结果就是楼区的通道上又多一搔首弄姿的车矗那道中间了。
说到出行,显然是受雪灾影响最明显的。这不,俺就收留了几个缉羁半道的准难民,3个侄子辈的。火车到了这,就没车子往下接他们了。倒是家里一下子热闹了很多。俺就特地买了袋米,就算蔬菜没了,饭得吃饱不是?再买二床棉絮,这天啊,阴冷阴冷的!别把人给冻着。
公司的班车自然要晚点。其实,即使不晚点,活也少了,平日里到处窜的供应商都没了影,在稍微远点的车间里加工的活,没法送,也没法拿回来了。公司也规定不得开车子出门!工人们倒是很忙,但不在车间里,是在车间屋顶上:扫雪!听说开发区美的公司的一个厂房给压塌了,还伤了人,公司里更紧张了,有玻璃顶的门厅也不让走了-一律走后门!屋顶上的工人远看跟停电线上的鸟儿似的,一串一串的,从中间往屋檐那推雪。铲过雪的人应该知道,那可是个体力活!
连下了几天大雪,今儿个总算停了,天阴着脸,仿佛在冷眼考察这帮凡夫俗子。不过,估计它老人家最近心情不爽,因为明天还要TMD下雪!当然,也有人抱怨说,都怪涛哥,十年不来一次,前不久总算来大江南北巡视一番,弄得各公司青砖铺地,净水泼街的,动静大发了。这回好,这雪,也有样学样,不来则已,来就搞回大的,弄死你!
甭管怎么说,涛哥也贵为天子,联系起来也不为过。天气阴不阴的,还有没有雪,对老百姓都是一样的策略,都得在雪灾中生产自救,生存下来。
刚收到一个文档,很感人,很全面形象地描述这次雪灾的严重性。就用它作结吧.
Every Spring Festival in China, the main wish is GO HOME!
2008, January and February, every Chinese desires arriving at home. No
matter how cold, how hard, how tire…it is…
GO HOME!
But it is a really cold and terrible winter for China. In this map navy blue is stand
for roads affected by Snowstorm, Cambridge blue for Ice rain, blue for small or
middle snow, green is for rain.
But anyway, let’s go home. How? By train? Ok, let’s try to get a ticket.
We have to wait outside the station, no matter how chilly it is.
That is OK. I could get warmer from company confidential destroyed documents.
More patience and lucky needed to get a ticket.
My goodness! I got a ticket. Let me get into the train!! Why I can’t?
Because the electric power frosts and the power is down for the train. But not only
for the train, all the affected area.
Here is one courthouse.
Maintainer works very hard.
But really dangerous.
Three of them died on Jan 26th 2008, because of a tower collapsing. I am serious.
They are my hero.
I could wait in the train station safely.
One pretty girl gets very tired then falls in a faint. But everyone could give her a
hand.
It is too late! Let’s try a bus.
High way is close.
One of the gas/oil stations is broken down.
All the cars are blocked on the road.
Some passengers spend several days in the bus because of the snowstorm and ice
rain.
Some kids get sick but a nice nurse comes…
