The idea of snow piled that high is just mind boggling to me. I've never encountered more than this inch of snow. It sounds like such a pain to move through, though I suppose it is slightly more feasible in places that are prepared. Though I've just heard horrible things this winter from my northern friends.

Heat + Humid = awwwwwwwwwful. I can deal with all temperature extremes so long as it is dry. The summer before last we had some nearly sixty days of over 100 in a row, and it wouldn't go below 90 at night.
