AVALANCHE!!!

Check out this avalanche I came across skiing today:

Those snow balls are 15' high!

OK, maybe 15 cm : )

The following sign says Snow Machine Access CLOSED insufficient snow:

There is about 2-3 feet of snow where the sign is posted and the drifts are well over 5 feet. Back in Minnesota that would be plenty of snow for snow-machines....of course some people in Iowa drive their machines through corn fields and across open water in the summer.
