- DeskFlyer, on 10/11/2007, -10/+128Sorry for the comment abuse, but it appears the snow buried the server too. Here's some of the images I managed to save before it took a crap:

- cawpin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+76That is a lot of snow but nothing amazing. It looks just like the pictures my parents showed me of our house in Indiana in the winters of 1977 and 1978. I was born in September 1979; I guess they didn't have much to do when they were snowed in.

You're right. I live in Sapporo, on the northernmost main Japanese island of Hokkaido. We have one of the highest annual snowfalls of any major city in the world. Our main tourist attraction is the Snow Festival every February (2 million visitors). The shot where the snow is up the side of the building is something I see a lot. The snow doesn't fall or drift like that. It gets moved into snow piles which are made by people clearing the stuff to one side so they can move around. Often they get piled up against the sides of buildings and look like there's actually more snow than there really is. In the apartment building I used to live in, we would pile the snow into mounds up to the 3rd floor.
The other pics where there are 'walls' of snow are similar. They're just snow dumps with paths cut through them. You can see them anywhere in a city with a big snowfall - the snow just gets cleared to the sides of the roads and builds up until it forms big continuous mounds. Then the local government workers start cutting the sides back to keep the roads clear so it looks like walls of snow.
If you want to see snow, I recommend our festival. You wouldn't believe what you can do with snow and a bit of artistic talent:

- vdubski, on 10/11/2007, -7/+60Yes, I have seen a lot of snow. I live in Buffalo, NY.
- cyberpope, on 10/11/2007, -0/+42I think he knows they are separate words. This I concluded from reading the title of the article, where it shows that he knows this in 2 different places.
- glomgold, on 10/11/2007, -0/+42oh yeah! well, i used to have to walk barefoot back and forth through that to school everyday! that's right, uphill both ways!
-your grandfather - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -14/+49wtf do you call it comment abuse? 99% of comments on digg is comment abuse, but posting mirrors to the images in question cannot be labeled abuse!!!
- Jibberwalk, on 10/11/2007, -8/+43It would have been better as:
On Digg, you bury snow.
In Soviet Russia, snow burries you! - Tyr7BE, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31Digg has a lot of Canadian readers, most of whom can safely say "yes, I have seen a lot of snow". What you're seeing in those pics is a good dumping, but nothing unprecedented by any means. Just a solid winter. Welcome to the Great White North.
- PolarXP, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Yes I have seen a lot of snow, I live there =)
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23Look at the pics taken from inside of the car. FY_ICEWORLD?

Anyway, i live in winterpeg, so i know how to deal with snow. - anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -5/+21In Soviet Russia, blenders digg lolcats in ur base.
- slicedoranges, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17I don't know if this was a coincidence or not, but after scrolling down...
http://www.slicedoranges.com/kgb.jpg - allywilson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Gotta love englishrussia.com - cannot get enough of it.
- BoneheadFarker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13I haven't even loaded the site yet (seems to be down), but being from Eastern Canada I doubt that I'll be surprised. I've seen a lot of snow too...
EDIT: And now that I see the pics, I really am not surprised. Although I'll admit that IS a lot of snow... - psykiv, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11@saaing
Right Click, Save As, Set as Wallpaper.
I live in South Florida. I've never seen snow :( - MorningWoody, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Im from russia and i approve this message
- Slippy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10This not remind anyone of Call of Duty 2?
When playing it i just thought the snow in the russian levels was overkill....apparently not. - lewscroo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11thats not a lot of snow, the drifts are just high. and how long until that page gets burried under by users?
- TheKingInYellow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9when will you guys learn? "alot" is not a word. using it makes you look stupid.
- basichuman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Having spent most all of my life in Florida this is beyond my comprehension.
- marm0lade, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10*unimpressed buffalonian*
These are from central NY, but you get the idea:
http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=8adbcb60-ee6d-4c36-b85a-49a90d13fb86 - MoonDogAFO, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Yep, upstate New York saw snow like that this past winter.
- xsanctom, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10It's that damn global warming to blame!
- Discolicious, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I was hoping someone would post those! :D
- aikahanyou, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I live in Canada. I've seen better.
- NewChar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8The Upper Peninsula in Michigan had piles of snow like this in March.
- qishi, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9That's a minor dusting here in Western NY state.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9winnipeg gets that much snow sometimes too
- crossmr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Buried for being pretentious. I'm from Canada. A couple winters ago Newfoundland had 14 feet, those pictures make it look to be around 5-6 feet with drifting. When I was young we got 6 feet once in a week (1992) the system kept bouncing off another system and going back and forth over us.
- cannazine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Over here in the UK we only need a few centimetres/inch's and the country grinds to a halt. Rofl!
Great job pizzler..seriously ;-) - SwitchXFactor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I live in Minnesnowta, I've seen snow just about that bad. I had a week of school canceled because my school was literally covered. (or at least the snow was up to the roof and above the doors.)
- CanceledCzech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7EnglishRussia is so crazy.
- hockey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I live in Augusta GA. A few years ago we had 2 inches of snow. . . yes that's correct 2 inches.
The city GRINDED to a halt. Schools let out, they sent us home from work early and people tore up roads from putting chains on their tires. All the news stations went around and dubbed it "Winter Storm" complete with dramatic music and people scurrying for their lives from the "massive" 2 inches of snow during the highlights.
Oh and you couldn't find a loaf of bread, bottled water or fire logs ANYWHERE in the cities grocery stores.
Good times. . . good times. - SniperXPX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Newfoundland ftw!
- Zippo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Pfft, I'm from Newfoundland. This is nothing.
- aston127, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5We're still shoveling it.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I've seen the same thing here in Milwaukee countless times. Dugg for the cool photos anyway. :)
- skidooer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"It IS a lot of snow"
Not really: http://www.thedieselgypsy.com/Labrador%20Snow.htm - CletusJones, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5The submitter must be from Florida.
- yutt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I live in Northern Michigan. I also have seen a lot of snow in my life. That doesn't mean 10 feet of snow is somehow "not a lot".
You people are ***** irritating. It is a lot of snow. Stop saying it isn't. This isn't some ***** pissing contest where you get points for having once seen more snow. - Skavenblight, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Apparently you don't live in Canada. We get a huge snowstorm where I live at least twice a year.
- Rethcir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Nice, but we've seen similar in new england. Englishrussia is a great site!
- rompom7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Theres no vehicles in fy_iceworld! Must've been a custom mod.
- Kanundra, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Working mirror: http://englishrussia.com.nyud.net:8080/?p=985
