There's that darned global warming again.

Keep showing your ignorance. Nature will have the final punch line.

Sorry, I "liked" your post by mistake. I "unliked" it on purpose.

PS: Please read my signature.

Cheers.

In Alaska, they don't plow the roads down to the cement/base. All winter, you drive on compacted snow. In the spring, they have what they call "breakup". It's an absolute mess. Sometimes the packed snow is 8-12 inches deep. For about a week, it's almost impossible to drive around unless you have a truck. They even have a website to predict when it will happen:

Thing is, you expect that sort of weather in Alaska. That comes to no surprise.

In our area, we have a big city...Buffalo, NY under 2 meters of snow in two days. That causes big hardships for quite hundreds of thousands of people...

Not just for a few truck drivers and Eskimos. lol
