I think i just died and went to heaven.
Some of the old weather reports for the UK used to be like this. Now it just seems impossible. Here's a little excerpt from 1947.
Wow.Serious snowfall events happen rarely, but when they come, the UK normally isn't prepared!

1947
One such winter was 1947. From January 22nd to March 17th, snow fell every day, somewhere in the UK! The snow accumulated quickly, causing real problems. The temperatures rarely rose more than a degree or 2 above 0! Several of these snowfalls where of 60cm (23") or more, and depths of level snow amazingly reached 1.5m (59") in Upper Teesdale and the Denbighshire Hills. Across the UK drifts of more than 5 metres (196") in depth blocked roads, and affected traffic. The armed services were brought in, to drop supplies to people in danger, trapped in their homes due to blocked roads and railways.

Excuse me while I barf.
There's one in the middle somewhere that's a hoot: the guy driving his car with a 4 foot snow bank on top of it, lol. Talk about lazy, or defeated.Comment

That's pretty much what I was thinking. There is not way the roofs in the Colorado Springs area could stand up to the much snow.Originally posted by {CLR} ObiTroy View Post

Thats kinda like the blizzard of 1977 here in Western NY I guess. My grandpa tells me stories of snow being piled up near the top of telephone poles on the roads.[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/Mobojo/Sigs/Sig2.jpg[/img]Comment

My city made it to something for once!!!!
I remember when all the Elkhorn (which has been annexed by Omaha) buses were frozen over. Kids got the day off of school. This year all the schools have run out of snow days so all the youngins will have to be in school later.Comment
