The snowfall here is eighteen inches (or most of a cubit, for those readers from the Bible) That's enough to make me wish I had a team of sled dogs instead of a car. Trying to get around by dogsled team seems crazy, until a blizzard like this comes around and suddenly, you'd be crazy to NOT have a dozen huskies in your backyard.
But I digress. Streets were half plowed, so almost everyone was getting stuck. The people with 4-wheel-drive SUVs were comfortably cruising around, trying to not look smug. The rest of us were shoveling out the street, and pushing cars around. Then some neighbor said that they had a snowblower. A common courtesy rule: If you have a snowblower, mention this first. That way, we won't have to all shovel for hours when the solution could be accomplished in 10 minutes.
Also, a pre-emptive warning to any person writing in to the local paper that "global warming can't possibly be true! Snow is the opposite of hot and look at all this snow". Write this, and I will sic my sled dogs on you.

See this all seems really cool (pardon the pun ha...not) to me. I have never lived in a place that snows. It is so hot here at the moment and we have so much rain the air is all sticky and heavy and full of mozzies(mosquitos)and flying crazy beatles that smash into the walls.
