1999: 150 cm of snow falls in a span of three days. Shuts down subway system. Major Traffic Jams. And our mayor has the nerve to call in THE ARMY for chrissakes.
Tahna Los, I live north of you in the Soo and when we heard that the army had moved in to clear the snow we laughed and laughed. We have had 150cm in one night and people were going to work the next day. But we have had 3 winters in a row where we have had less than 150cm all winter it has been great. Bring on Global warming, I hate shovelling.

And what about people who live downhill from where they work, eh? I suppose you have some kind of crazy horse-powered sledge, don't you? You make me sick.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
