HOLY SWEET SHIT.

How long did it take for it all to fall? A week?

Looks like a typical canadian winter.

Holy crap. No golf till August... 2009. How can people get out of their houses?

Id be out there in 5 minutes with my skis!!! Frick thatd be an awesome gap to jump.

"What were you doing yesterday?"
"O, you know, just hitting a 20 ft gap over cars, nothing special"

[Farquod]

Do I see Warbirdlover and Ssmokin' working behind that V-8 snowblower???

[Rockford35]

That's probably a V8 Caterpillar. That thing would throw some snow.

Have you ever seen the snowplows they have on the front of trains in the rockies? Insane....they throw snow like 150 feet and can eat like 3000 tons of snow in a hour...

What would you be thinking with one of those things coming towards you?

"Why am I sitting in 15 feet of snow on the train tracks?"

That would be my first guess.


WBL, those are the old rotary style ones. They don't use those much anymore. The one I'm thinking of is like the new chute and auger style, just on an insanely massive scale.

That's still super cool tho.

I always wondered what cows thought when they started putting cowcatchers on the front of trains and they saw them coming in ankle high. Can't imagine what they would think of this thing. Would save the butcher alot of trouble on making ground beef. Maybe a little messy though.

[warbirdlover]

How about one of these?
