A shovel for 15 ft of snow? Might as well use a teaspoon.

18 ft. of snow is way over the design standards for the structures. Who would have ever thought they would get 18 ft. of snow? Hence the problem. It also depends on how wet the snow actually is.

If it rains and the snow gets wet before they get it off their roofs.....

How do they get their solar panels to work with all that snow on their roofs?

No city can be expected to plan for that much snow. It would be like a Florida city being criticized for not planning for 200 inches of rain...

Cordova out of shovels as snow tops 15 feet So much for those "shovel-ready" projects Obama promised.
