What if it just keeps snowing and doesn't melt, what's the average height of kids , women, men ? If you were trapped in a house you would have to try and dig a chimney out your front door. Like a snow flood everywhere.

Forest fires kill tons of wildlife, what about the snow just getting so deep in a short enough period everything's trapped and dies ?

Just imagine all Chicago gets 10ft of snow and it doesn't melt

 

How's it in NL? Post us some pics of what's it like out on your street if it's anything like this.

Should solve the global warming problem.

Should reduce air pollution if no road traffic possible.

 

It would also reduce the sea level and prevent Bangladesh being inundated.

 

Be prepared!

Beat me to it Max, I was gonna say he wouldn't need a cooler to keep his beer in.

Along with New York City and Florida.

 

The Maldives should be less worried.!!

I watch a lot of documentaries, and there's none of a whole region killed by a snow fall in history.

You are assuming history can predict the future.

 

You must have skipped over the chapters on Ice Ages.

I'm still not sure about Alligators or Croc's. Let alone lizards of various kinds, e.g. ultra large Lizards Komodo Dragons. They didn't cover their body with skins of Animals or no way could they use fire. The Ice Ages did occur, extinction events happening all over the planet. I'm not sure where, when, how, why some did or others didn't. Just confusing to me, actually weird, is the survival of some and not of others.

Humans adapt, that's another confusing example, but has more of an explanation. Bigger brain etc.

I don't know where the original poster lives, but after getting literally tons of snow piling up around your house, Maybe you should consider moving to California where it's warmer all year. However, you will have to make a choice between earthquakes and severe snow storms.

 

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Great Blizzard of 1888

"Snow fell from 10 to 58 inches (25 to 147 cm) in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet."

Death toll was over 400 people. Not quite a mass extinction event (as long as you were not one of the 400 that is).

 

Then there was the winter of 2014 in Boston. There was a record of 108.6 inches after several series of storms happened sequentially. That’s almost 9’ or 2.76m.

Wikipedia “During the 2014–15 winter season, Boston broke its all-time official seasonal 107.6-inch (2.73-meter) snowfall record from the winter of 1995–96, with a total snowfall record of 108.6 inches (2.76 m) as of March 15, 2015.”

 

Yep, here in Worcester we got 119 inches, our all time high. It was one 2 ft+ storm after another.

By the way, if you receive 10 feet of snow, there will not be 10 feet on the ground, it compresses under its own weight.

Easter morning in 60's @ Rumford, ME we had 36" of fresh powder and of course, the plow drivers had the day off. We were on the "uphill" side of the street the plows pushed to and in the depth of winter, there was a 12' snowall on our side of the street. The "sport" was jumping out of a 2nd story window to do a "bellybuster" into the snowdrifts up against the house. And that was with 12' ceiling floors on a 3' foundation wall. When the wind blew hard in the winter while lying in bed at night on the upper floor you could feel the old Victorian house swaying.

 

Blizzard of March 1966, North Dakota, about two months prior to my birth.

There are some areas that are prone to ridiculous amounts of snow due to for example lake effect. Working in Buffalo NY a few years ago I was amazed at the snow piles, but the locals thought nothing of it. Various areas around the Great Lakes manage with substantial snowfall most every year.

 

Heavy snow may also be an effect of global warming.
