Jamie Nye: The good in a snow storm

It’s interesting when the best comes out in people and for the past two days snowstorms did just that.

As roads were clogged with snow, so were people in vehicles, having a hard time getting through.

Sunday night at the Brier in Regina, many were out pushing strangers out of their own snowy car graves to make sure people didn’t get stranded.

I don’t drive the biggest vehicle. In fact, it’s one of the smallest and the only time I got stuck was at home… just feet from my driveway coming home from the Brier and within seconds — I’m serious….seconds — someone appeared to help push for those final few feet.

One neighbour blew out snow from my driveway so I could get in.

I know someone who said they met more neighbours in the last two days helping each other out of their street than they have in four years.

I guess what I’m trying to say is. It’s too bad it doesn’t snow like this more often. It brings out the best in people.
