BowEd:
Good thing normal people that have to make a living have their own independent mind to take care of themself instead of listening to and depending on mayors.

Hawkdancer:
There have been some real tough blizzards over the years, as well as some snowy spells!  Most of us in the west would like to see some measureable snow - we need the moisture.  Maybe not 10'-12' but a good foot or so.  When I-80 closes, we got problems!

In the late 50's or early 60's we had a blizzrd with snow drifts to the eaves of the house and four or five feet of snow in the yards.
I had to work open a living room side window and dig a tunnel to the surface to have enough ventilation to fire up the old Warm Morning coal heater.
The front porch was packed solid so after getting the door open, luckily there was no storm door on it at the time, I dug a tunnel out far enough to reach open air and a trench to the road.
There were several factories nearby so the city had snow plows going all night to keep the main roads open.
Once I got to the road I dug away enough snow for dad to reach his car and clear away enough of the driveway to get on the road.
