Snowdance: I really like how you went as far as climbing on your neighboors' roofs and powder them with articficial snow *. These are customs skills taken to an urban level. Keep "up" the good work !

Mods: I think this thread should be moved to the 'customs section' don't you think? *

* = not to be taken seriously ;)

Funny things is that's more snow then I've seen in a month.

If the UK wants our snow I say lt them have it.  ;)

We have about double that much here. Started back in Oct--we have about 30 cm here now--snowed another 4 cm last night.

It'll melt off in March.
If we are lucky....but that's the Prairies for ya....

About 5 or 6 years ago, my wife and I lived in a house that had mainly open spaces around it. The way the snow was blowing, and the way the drifts went, our back door was 75% blocked in by snow. Our car at the time, a Sunfire, was half buried under snow as well. It took us HOURS to shovel the car out and the driveway - which some here that have been to that house can attest - was a LARGE driveway.

the snowdrift in front of/behind the gate in the first picture was knee deep when i went out and cleared it this morning.

so, that's at least 50cm/a foot and a half. that's deep for us, here in rural Gloucestershire.

there again, like i said, it was a drift...
