We had three teams simultaneously beheading the zombies. Some were more efficient than the others. It took us a total of 14 hours to take care of all the walkers that were buried in the snow. Total count: 135!
It got a bit dicey at the end. The temperature had to have reached almost 55 degrees. The walkers had started to thaw and would become a threat if we didn't work fast.
Billy was the first to come across walkers who were showing signs of coming back to life. Hold that. Coming back to life would be the wrong term to use. Showing signs of rising would be the correct way to characterize it.
Thinking fast, Billy came up with a solution to keeping the thawed walkers semi-stationary until the teams could behead them.
Grabbing an axe from the porch on our town home, Billy was able to quickly cut off one leg of the last 30 or so walkers that we hadn't beheaded, so if they awoke from their hibernation, they wouldn't be able to quickly rise and attack. Brilliant move. We decided to let Billy have half a kill for each one-legged zombie.
Good thing, as they started to rise in the early evening (the 12th hour of work that day). We were working by flashlight.
Kind of funny, seeing 20 walkers dragging themselves towards us.
So now we have a new moniker for the one's that can't walk...draggers!
