I should have included the caption to the above picture of Paradise Inn:

Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier, Washington. During the winter of 1916-1917, 789.5 inches of snow fell at Paradise Inn. When this photo was taken, in March 1917, the snow was 27 feet deep.

I've been there when the snow was a mere 20 or so feet deep. Pretty flippin' cool. :-)

27 FEET DEEP?! Oh dear Lord.

I'd be praying for global warming ;-)
