Oh no doubt. I hate it when folks out in Alaska or in Canada saying "Pffft. Two feet of snow? We have that every week!" Well, when you live in an area that is constantly seeing huge amounts of snow, the infrastructure of that area is built around the clean-up of said snow. More of the local budgets are put into clean-up efforts. There's plenty of space to put all that snow that comes down. While here in New England we get big snow storms, we don't get storms like this past one every single winter. Therefore, when it hits, it's not as easy to clear it out. We just don't have the room to put all this snow once it's removed from the streets.
Took me a long time yesterday to clear up the driveway, and I was able to dig my car out earlier today. Driving around the area, it's crazy how high the piles on the sides of the roads are. Two lane roads are reduced to 1.5 lanes at most. The warm weather and bright sunshine has melted a lot of it, so there's plenty of water flooding parking lots and sides of roads. With all the rain being predicted for tomorrow, it'll be crazy with localized flooding.
This was a pretty memorable storm. It was totally surreal driving around in what amounts to a maze of snow out there.
