Explanation: Yes, but can your blizzard do this? In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's Storm of the Century in 1938, some snow drifts reached the level of utility poles. Nearly a meter of new and unexpected snow fell over two days in a storm that started 86 years ago this week. As snow fell and gale-force winds piled snow to surreal heights, many roads became not only impassable but unplowable; people became stranded, cars, school buses and a train became mired, and even a dangerous fire raged. Two people were killed and some students were forced to spend several consecutive days at school. The featured image was taken by a local resident soon after the storm. Although all of this snow eventually melted, repeated snow storms like this help build lasting glaciers in snowy regions of our planet Earth.
Not in Hobbiton they're not . . . Heh. :-)
March 14, 1888. The White Hurricane. Look it up.
I didn’t know they had global warming in 1938? I thought Gore invented it in the 90’s.
I can not argue with the name of the greatest hood ornaments of all time.
But it's fair to warn you that your love is unrequited because Big Brother...

is the ultimate NPC (non-playable character). He plays YOU.
That’s a lot of snow. :^)
