Record snowfall buries buildings and towns in Russia’s Kamchatka.

I promise to never complain about 6 inches of snow in New York again.

18” overnight was the worst I’ve had to deal with. 2004, Southern Wisconsin.

EVERYTHING in my world was shut down. It was the one and only day in my 10+ years at the Garden Center that we were closed!

I was snowed in at my farm for 2 days. My snow plow gal had to hire a skid steer to plow me out, we were THAT stuck!

Nope. The Blizzard of 77.

It was a Buffalo thing.

‘87(?) my car broke down at the theater on KI Sawyer Air Base. It snowed that night before I could get it running. Like those guys at the end I had to tunnel my way to it the next day. It was too deep and too much to dig out the whole thing at one time so I went to my dorm.

It snowed that night.

Before I could get back to my car they used a front end loader to plow the parking lot and piled the whole parking lot of deep snow on my car.

It sat there under the pile until I could get it out end of March/start of April ‘88.

Where’s the RISK guy telling us all that we need to seize Kamchatka because it is the key security for the United States?>

Heh heh. I was just thinking about how many people know about Kamchatka because they played Risk
