ETA: It's been raining here so much today that I have less than 1 cubic foot of snow in my driveway, and it's not all in one place. The sun never shines between my shed and ATV, so there's a little bit of snow there. The rest is next to the street where it's been run over and packed down by my truck, since I haven't shoveled or plowed all winter.[/QUOTE]

No thanks. I've been to the Soo in the winter before and they get so much snow there's nowhere else to plow it. They have to load it up and truck it out of town. My uncles used to live in Dafter by the intersection of I-75 and M28 and we went there a lot when I was a kid. On my Easter vacation around 1970-71 they still had 6 feet of snow on the ground April 22nd. I was still able to get out my 6 foot deep foxhole but couldn't do it in the shape I am now. I dug a tunnel behind the main barn and ended up in a snow cave that was actually underneath a hay wagon I didn't know was parked there.

One of my uncles tied a ribbon in a tree at the top of a snow drift that winter, and in the summer when the snow was gone he measured it at 14 feet high. That was the year I saw my older brother jump off a barn. He sunk past his crotch in the snow. He didn't see the pitchfork behind him until after he jumped. He was dumb and lucky.

 

It was 61 degrees yesterday and that little bit of snow was gone by today. You can keep your snow in the U.P.
