That's a lot of snow! For me, it wouldn't necessarily be how much snow came down as much as the fact that it fell near the March, when one is expecting spring to sproing. Nice pix. BTW, AFAIK, the record for a single day (24 hour) snowfall on a city was two years ago in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Somewhere around 70 cm fell. My daughter, mother and sister lived through it. The whole city closed down for about a week while they cleaned up. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
