I know what you mean about streets becoming canyons. I’m a Minnesotan, so I’m very familiar with snow.

That said, I was amazed by what I saw in Michigan back in the early ‘90’s. We went there to ski Indianhead Mountain and the roads were canyons with 20 foot walls. Unbelievable!

I never could figure out how they piled snow up that high.

Perhaps it was not piled :>

When I lived in California I was amazed hearing about some of the snowfall totals in the Sierras. We would have a strong rain storm in the bay area and they would report 12 feet of snow in a single storm. I grew up in a semi-snowy area, but the thought of 12 feet falling in the course of 4 hours just boggled my mind.

I can see how the Donner party got trapped.

We’d go riding our motorcycles in the Sierras and some of the passes were still closed in late May because of all the snow. Some don’t open till late May early June.

We use snow blowers. Really really big snow blowers.
