Surprising the collapses given this snow was light and powdery, seems the heavier wet type of snow does more damage.

I don't get the hype about snow, they make a big deal about a foot, let alone more than that. It's winter, we get snow, sometimes lots of it. Keep your supplies stocked, have a means to clear it, and stay off the road if your vehicle won't get traction.

You remember further back than I, and we used to get a lot more snow going back to the 60's, I barely remember the ones in the early 70's, but we had one that closed the state road here because it was impassable and all equipment was stranded in it, cut off etc. My father opened a 2 or 3 mile stretch with the D7 we had on the farm. He had it passable in 3 hours. There used to be a rock cut just down the road a bit, 30' high both sides, the snow filled most of it, he had to punch through it somehow. Those were notable storms, what we just got was a normal occurrence for many years. I have no use for our current governor as well, given his actions in December of '12.
