Three inches is too much for me. I feel for them.

Where do you keep stacking that stuff when you shovel your driveway/sidewalk/roof/road/parking lot/etc???

Seems like by now the sides would be getting pretty darned tall. How high can one throw a shovelfull of snow anyway???

There sure is. Once, on Kauai, my brand new wife and I were enjoying some of that sand, and a gal wandered by, completely ignoring the "No Nudity" sign the state had put up. REALLY ignoring it, if you catch my drift. At that very moment I knew that I should have visited your home while single. Got a new wife again, and we will hopefully be there next year, so hang onto some of that sand for us...

I would absolutely love to visit your state on a semi-permanent basis. Are there any jobs for older experienced public safety or emergency management type folks? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ah...Lake-effect snow...up to 12 feet deep in some parts north of here...
You don't shovel it. You can't shovel it. You have a big honkin' snowthrower and you run it twice a day. If you don't, you get buried and have to hire a backhoe to dig out. I am not kidding. God help you if you need an ambulance or a fireman...they can't get to you. Stock food, water and fuel. The water mains break and the roofs collapse. Major PITA.
