Why Our Recent Snowfall Sucked

[wrenb]

This last weekend it snowed from Friday night until Monday noon. We got 15 inches of snow and 1 inch of water mixed into that. Now, here in the Upper Midwest we're good at clearing snow. I was not snowed in at all this weekend. But with temperatures hovering around freezing, the snow was really wet and really heavy. How heavy? The Wisconsin State Journal reports 22 pounds per snow shovel!
