10: It’s an uphill battle - embrace the cliché.
One of the snow dumps in our city. It’s on a lot about 500 feet by 300 feet, and I don’t know how high. 20 stories? 30 stories? ChatGPT says this might be about 100,000 metric tons of snow. Dump trucks arrive 12 hours a day, an enormous snow blower flings the snow up to the top, and the excavator shovels it further back on the snow pile to make room for more snow.
The snow is usually still melting away in August!
