We had a fall about 1/2 that size in Christchurch about 13 years ago. Paralyzed the city for a couple of days.

If we had a dump like that we'd be screwed. Public transport would stop, even the police would have very few 4WD, mostly big powerful RWD australian cars.

lol umm it takes alot more then 3ft of snow to get a snow day here :( we had a dump of 3feet in 97 but got no snow day :(

Ours was just over 1ft I think. Brought down power lines through sheer weight, no one has snow tyres so only off-road 4WDs could get around, public transport (we only have busses) was only working in about 1/2 the city and most of the population didn't even have boots to stop their feet getting wet :P

I don't think we have set rules for snow days, as it only settles about once every 2 or 3 years. But anything over 3 inches on the roads would cause a warning for people not to drive.

Anyway right now it's the middle of summer so no need to worry about that sort of thing hehehe

wow ur town sucks we have graders with like 3 diff blades on them and damn do those things move snow. and 1ft of snow is like nothing here at alll

i remember my dad telling me when he was a kid they had about 5 feet of snow

they only way anyone could get around was by snowmobile because they couldnt even get the snow plows out thats about the only time ive ever heard of the city being shut down due to snow

shit we got a generous foot of snow last tuesday or wednesday. My buddy came over for breakfast, got stuck in the driveway, I had a big blowout with the old lady, stuck the toyota trying to get around the 2 stuck cars in the driveway, and got piss loaded.

it would probly take 5 feet or more of snow to shut us down for a a day... so they could go get the snow mobles and dig the plows outa the garage... lol
