That is all.
It was pretty bad in America, too. There was more than 3 times as much snow in one fall that winter than any time I could remember in the past 10 years -- even the "snowstorm" of 2002 -- AND it snowed that hard several times. This is not much farther north than where Jacob is. Even the people who WEREN'T driving couldn't handle that much snow -- I lived near a small park at the time, and we were there when two girls were sledding on the worst possible (but fastest so it had to be funnest >.>) hill, where there was a sidewalk the sled had to go over, a bench swing, a tree stump, and a trash can. One hit a metal pole and broke her leg. This was a day after they closed Interstate 85 during the night due to too much snow on it. Hard to say who were the least smart during that -- the idiots who decided to go on it at 10:00 PM during heavy snow, or the government people who decided to force them to stay there overnight by closing off all the exits.
