After checking out this frozen highway (be sure and scroll down for the video's), you may want to view the much warmer Hana Highway. And the amazing SIX DAY Road Repair after quake in Japan...http://is.gd/0xK69Y

This area gets up to 53 FEET of snow:

2:11 mark in video is good illustration of how they do this fantastic job of snow removal.

And a video of a drive down this road.

Or Maybe THIS device for your personal use....also from Japan. The Yukitaro.

So it isn't a car..it sure is gearhead worthy!

VERSUS....NYC crew when faced with several inches of snow.

Summer's almost here ...we can now see the deer moving around in our back yard.

Comment by Dana on March 7, 2012 at 8:23am: My guess is that we will see all this snow about April....this warm stuff is just to lull you into a false sense of security.
