Hey, Northerners: Here is what you need to deal with your excess snow! Apparently it can double as a weed-whacker. Er, weed-burner. For when you really do have a scorched earth policy.

In a similar vein, I recently wondered why cities don't just collect the worst of the snow and dump it into a convenient lake/river/ocean, but I suppose there's salt and motor oil and whatnot in it that the fish wouldn't appreciate. Though maybe if you could run it through a wastewater plant first or something...

WANT.

It's a shame I didn't take pictures. There are snow drifts in my yard that come up to my armpits.

Also, the "lakes frozen over" thing has already been commented on, but - around here that's what public swimming pools do in the winter. They hold all the excess snow. Also soccer fields, and the like.

Yeah. We get creative when mother nature gives us two feet at a time, dontcha know.

Heh. That's awesome. (We, on the other hand, would all faint away if we got two feet at a time. Even an inch puts the city out of commission.)
