Milje,
I was up your was several years ago to some powerhouse way out in the boonies where they found that huge copper nugget (40 tons?). What's the average snowfall up there, 240"? Talking with the guide he said that during the Winter the maintanance men drive their lifted 4x4's with a snowmobile in the back just in case they do get stuck. That's hard core!

Not sure how it is where he's at, but when I went to the University of Edinboro (Edinboro, PA), I was talking with some people that had lived up there for years and said that they remember winters 20+ years ago where the snow had gotten as high as the telephone poles...
I didn't get to see it quite that high...but they measure snow in feet not inches up there...
Oh, yea, they plow the snow once a day up there whether it needs it or not, and they NEVER salt or even throw cinders. After spring arrives they take heavy equipment around and scrape 4" or more of ice off all the roads.
