I'm not sure where it is now. I first saw that pic in an e-mail forward a few days ago and it said it was just west of Rapid City SD in the Black Hills. I used Google to find it again and found it on a website that claims it is in Japan. Given all the other pics in the e-mail that were definitely in SD, showing houses buried up to their eaves, and higher!, I think that one probably is SD. But here's one I found that is in Japan.
Here is a pic of Trail Ridge Road in Rcky. Mtn. Nat. Park in the spring which is close to where I live.
Notice the wooden pole. Those are put in place before the snow flies so that the snow removal guys know where the road is. In some spots the drop is several thousand feet so staying on the road is important.
This is the kind of snow blower they use on Trail Ridge but this happens to be on Chinook Pass which is in WA state I believe.
Don't stick your hand in there to free a jam! ;^)
