In Superior, WI we would get a lot of snow in the winter. I remember
6-10 foot snowdrifts from blizzards, making it very hard to get around
and burying cars and even semis. The plows would keep the main roads
clear, and we would just have to make our way a couple of blocks
through the snow to the main road, then walk down that a couple of
blocks to the store. The only part that helped was that it would drop
to -50F or -60F with the wind chill, and that would freeze the snow
enough so you could walk on it or just sink down a foot or so with each
step.

Boy does that bring back memories. I would never live too far away
from a convenience market or grocery store, personally. I live outside
of Nashville, TN now, but would like to move to Vermont or New
Hampshire in a couple of years because I miss the snow.
