Of SNOW...in upstate NY. ...How the hell do you deal with 10 feet of show? The most snow I've ever had to shovel is like 3 feet. With 10 feet, I would think that people would be getting on ladders and scraping it off their roof, for fear of the roof collapsing.

Snow stories? Emphasis on danger?

    The places where it snows a lot are better equipped to handle it.


    If you get like 2 inches of snow in Philly, shit shuts down.

    You get 2 inches of snow in Vancouver and people are outside aiming blowdriers at the sky trying to get it to stop.

    There was a half inch here and they shut down the busses to my brother's school.

    I'm pretty sure Los Angeles would just explode if it ever snowed basically ever.

    Second college reference of the day.

    I went to school in upstate New York, along Lake Erie. We got some serious fucking snow there. The winter before I graduated, we got either the highest seasonal snowfall on the East Coast or the highest snowfall in the country, I forget which one. Just heavy snowfall after heavy snowfall. Undrifted snow covering cars, drifts up to the roofs of buildings. That was fucking nuts. I kind of miss it, actually.

    Fun times.

    Over by where I lived, it rained on top of that shit during the night, so we had a good 1 inch layer of ice on top of 2 feet of snow.

    My father and I went out with picks so we could lift the protective sheaf of ice off of the snow just so we could shovel it.

    Up hill.

    Both ways.

    it snowed here today, about an inch to 2 inches, and everything has pretty much shut down. As in it took my mother 2 hours to drive here from the city centre (usually a 10 min drive max) We cannot deal with snow in the UK
