I can't believe what a big deal all this snow is making in the US. I've lived through this every winter of my life! Just go out and build a fort already ;-) - LA

What makes it a big deal, is that the areas affected are equipped to handle a 2-4 inch snowfall, max. These same areas have had 3' or more of snow in just the month of February. If your average snowfall per storm is 3', and in one storm 9' or more fell in ONE storm, how would Montreal handle that?

In all fairness though, there are a lot of areas in the US not accustomed to huge snow falls, or in some cases for any snow at all. Not like Toronto where the National Guard is called in because they got a huge dumping and panicked.

We don't normally get a lot of snow down here in Texas, but we got 12 inches on Thursday and I'm really surprised to see that there is still snow on the ground today, Saturday already! At least this time, it snowed during a winter month. Last year, we got much more snow than this toward the end of fucking MARCH!?!?! Usually, but March, it's Summer here. The year before, it snowed in APRIL! I've lived here most of my life and I have never, ever, ever seen snow here in those months. It might happen up North, but it just doesn't down here. quote: there are a lot of areas in the US not accustomed to huge snow falls, That would be us, as detailed above.

quote: how would Montreal handle that? Like we handle all snow, with snow plows, winter tires and boots! We had a snow storm last year where I woke up to 5 feet of snow in my back yard. I have never in my whole life had school or work cancelled because of snow. Ice storm yes, but only because the ice on the hydro electrical lines was cutting the power out throughout the province. I guess with the major weather shifts, areas that never got snow before will have to start planning it in their strategies! - LA

We just got on with it. Took longer to get anywhere but it happened.

I just slip on my Canadiennes and put on my fancy little tuque and hop over snowbanks! - LA

the vid is a jab at how every snow is the end- and a jab at terrism war.

Hopping over snowbanks isn't an option when they are high enough to ski down. The buggers still don't sand the sidewalks, I'm planning on buying skates and skating to and from work.

Maybe I need to be afraid of snow to see the terror. We actually don't have much snow right now, quite unusual: http://www.montrealcam.com/en-placecartier.html We are expecting a few centimeters tomorrow and Monday. - LA
