Every once and a while we come across some unusual pictures of snow situations in
This situation takes major snow clearing equipment to open the road, only to have it fill in again during the next snow storm. You wonder why they even bother to reopen the road with these kinds of conditions. This must be the only road into a town or perhaps between towns.
Can you imagine getting stuck in one of these snow canyons during a storm. You would have to come back in the spring to get your car when the snow melted and that is if the back hoe did not damage it when they were re-0pening the road. If there is any wind at all, the snow will fill in this road and this road will be impassable within a few minutes, Any driver would quickly get stuck in the snow even if you have a four wheel drive vehicle You never want to be caught in a snow canyon like this one.

We really like adding these posts to our blog. They show what other people have to deal with in various parts of the world. These pictures are from Russia. However we expect that people living in the Canadian Rockies and in the US Rockies must have to deal with some of the same conditions.
We have heard of snow tunnels like this on North American roads. However have not yet seen any pictures that come close to these. We think they are out there, and if you have some, why not send them our way via comment. Perhaps in the Rocky Mountains of western Canada or in the north western part of the United States will have conditions like these. We also suspect that some railroads also have to face this kind of snow conditions. These conditions exist in the mountains or heading through valleys were the snow really fills in. Let us know.
The snow is actually quite dangerous if your car is on the road with these conditions and snow valleys in the road which is like a valley between the snowdrifts. Be very careful when you’re driving these kinds of roads. If you cannot see where you’re going, turn around and go back.
If you have pictures like these or know of situations in North America, please send us your pictures via comments on our blog and we will add them to our blog for readers to view.
