And we live on the north side of the mountain, so any snow stays with us for at least a week after it's melted everywhere else. The Mountain Man uses the 1987 4-wheel drive Ford F-150 pickup when it snows.

They made a video of the blizzard in the 90's sometime as it stopped the city. <BR/>We did get a very heavy fall one year when we lived in Queenstown further south - and my husband, trained from years of living in Yorkshire - shovelled the snow off the drive immediately. We were the only people in our street who didn't get trapped in our driveway when the ice formed... and the whole town was almost iced in for three weeks!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the laugh too - good luck this year.Fi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-71757432431585831692008-12-22T13:51:00.000-05:002008-12-22T13:51:00.000-05:00Hail Bret & Spartacus!

This worked reasonably well until the spring thaw. Huge chunks of broken ice and loads of slush mired our car in up to the axles.

Yeah.<BR/><BR/>So...although not SPARTACUS, I am going with WONDER WOMAN because I shoveled all 18" that we got down there by my little old self too.
