Somebody did.

Snowy, I remember a couple fun years in the early 70's. We were able to ride our arctic cat downtown from our home up on circle/29th. The drifts were an honest 3-4 ft up the fences & house, which was huge to me at the time, and it lasted a couple weeks. A year or two before was our 100yr flood. Canoes became popular. Nothing quite like seeing people float down your street.

We need the water but our clay soil composition doesn't handle it well. Four years ago we had a long bout of rain followed by winds (as now predicted) and I lost a 70ft cedar right next to the house. It took out my fence & gutters, but 5 degrees over and it would have been me in my bed. There's still a 5yr glut of firewood. I do not want to spend another week clearing trees. Please Mrs. Gaia, read a book or something.
