Snow, snow and snow this year is true Winter Olympic year.

Abrams,
I have some history for you on your second photo titled 'Huge Vintage Snow fall'. This appears identical to a picture displayed in Suomi's Restaurant in Houghton, Michigan. Houghton is located at the base of the Keweenau peninsula and is known as one of the snow capitals of the state. I do not remember the date of the photo, if you would like more information shoot me an e-mail and I will respond with the details from the restaurant. I can recognize the riverfront vaguely in the photo :-)

as far as the second pic goes, i'm sorry i don't have better info, but i seem to remember that being sand ~ not snow ~ by that telephone pole. it's either in reference to windstorms in CA or the hurricane in galveston, tx. i'm still googling for more specific info, tho.
Now that's what I call snow... Nothing compared to the 15 centrimetres that have fallen here in Holland.
Old school telephone pic...could swear it is from north dakota.
The man next to the telephone pole - it is snow, not sand. Jamestown, North Dakota
Photo Date: March 9, 1966 - http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/htmls/wea00958.htm
The Japan picture is from Niigata Prefecture, Yuzawa, a ski-resort town. You can see a sign for Joetsu Kokusai in the background, which made me laugh. Jokoku is a pretty decent resort, been there four times or so and hoping to board there again this year. The snow in Niigata is usually half that size.
Did anyone mention it is sunny and 75o Farenheit here in Phoenix Arizona this week end?
You asked about the 2nd photo. References:

Holy Crap! That's a lot of snow.
i am an ice eater , so I hope if I can eat all this snow, I will solute this problems
you have interested blog , I like cool ads, I wish if you visit me in some flowers/
I can't believe the amount of snow seen in these pics, I have never realized how gentle is the weather here in switzerland....
In our country there also is a lot of snow. Maybe not in such amounts as on pictures, but in meaningful way.
Poland on snow
Lots and lots of snow. :)
I will never complain about our North East Ohio winters again!!!
No. 2 - probably a scene of the winter of 1978/1979 in Poland.
Whoa... now I don't feel like leaving Jamaica at all. So much ice, damn
it's a widespread myth that picture no. was taken in Poland in 1979. Someone just has found it in the Net and put it up as a fake. Nevertheless we had two-metre high snowdrifts in Poland thirty one years ago and tunnels similar to that "snow walled-in"
"Huge vintage snow fall (would like to get some info):" Looks a lot like a photo I have seen in reference to snow in North Dakota, perhaps near the Fargo area.

I was in Honduras during Christmas and overheard that it had snowed for the first time in recorded history in... Guatemala! Upon research, however, i discovered that some volcanoes there get snow every once in a while.
Preciosa imagenes me han gustado mucho, saludos desde Guareña-españa.
strong winter doesn't mean that there is no global warming..wait till summer (besides temperatures are pretty high for a winter..it's just a lot of snow(rain) this year...
Laura Ingals-Wilder recounts as a child back in the 1800's where there was a storm that came up to the second story bedrooms. So global warming must occur every so often, and of course there were a lot of carbon emissions back when the territories were just becoming states, right?
hey, thats unbelivable. Very good shots
I think that the "Huge Vintage Snowfall" photo may be from the winter of 77-78. I remember seeing it then.
I'm pretty sure that first photo is of a doghouse, not a full-scale house. That much snow to scale with an actual two-storey would have caved in the roof.
Someone should check out a place called Garrett County, Maryland USA. I have seen pictures taken there that compare to a lot of these pictures and they are south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
I thought I hated snow before but I can't imagine living in that stuff.
Cool pics, really! Being a Swede, I can tell you the last picture shows ski lift Tusenmetersliften in Åre, Scandinavia's greatest ski resort.
Cheers.
Where I ride my snowmobile in the Colorado Rockies they have over 200 inches and drifts normally are 3-10 feet after a Pacific front comes through. Taxi Driver in Arizona just doesn't get it......Oh Ya next week it is going to be sunny and 60 in Denver.....
that wasn't a BMW :)
Just moved from Alaska to Houston, Texas. Can't say I miss this kind of snow :)
Don't want to be a smartass and all but Mercedes makes E-classes, BMW makes 5-series.
Ah, this reminds me of the ice planet Hoth.
