I most certainly recognize the problem. We had the same problem in northern Sweden. 2 - 3 yards of snow on the roof (when it reached approx 1½ yard I had to climb the roof and take it down), in the intersections the snow mountains were 6 - 8 yards high, and at the community snow dump the snow never melted - just before the start of the snow season there was some 3 - 4 yards of snow left over from the previous winter (on an area of 2 - 3 football fields). Mid winter the snow mountain was up to 40 meters high and the lorries had a snow road to the top for tipping ...
Yeah, that was fun often and no fun often ...
