How does one survive the coming 40 days and 40 nights of snowfall?

Where will this occur?

New England states

November 2015

A good time to make friends with an Alaskan Native...?

I'm in Western NY and the snow has been non stop...just last night it was snowing...now today thank god the sun is out. Dealing with the constant snow is a pain in the ass and takes some getting used too...but we deal with it...what else are we gonna do? Depression can happen because of lack of sunlight so try not to focus on that. Happy thoughts :)

in the 70s it did snow for 40 days and 40 nights, like 160 inches

Vitamin d3 does actually work. I been taking some for about a week. Good shit

Places below 32degrees

You know I have heard that :) I just take regular adult gummy vitamins lol I think someone who is new to the area would have a much harder time than me cause well this is home where I grew up...my mom was actually pg with me during the blizzard of 77...that must have been fun lol

Come live with me!! -voidman

:ohnoz:

yeahsure? lol silly voidman...you must be in CA or something where the sun shines all the time...

Paaarrrttyyyyy!!!!

it'll be kind of like a guiness world records event, where all the people of earth are invited to come on by, grab some hot chocolate and snow ice cream

Mmmmm.....

in WI we call that phenomenon "Winter" and have special vehicles we use to get around called "four wheel drives"
and special clothing too! PPE! (personal protective equipment)

come up north and train yourself in our active training environment. we have it once a year for 6 months :-p

1. Enough fuel to keep you and your surroundings warm and lighted
2. Sufficient food and supplies to outlast the 40 days
3. Tools for snow removal

It easily snows for 40 days in many parts of the world ; planning is the key to survival. It helps if your surroundings are doing the same planning.

This winter, that's been the whole eastern US except for Florida.

not in new england the current record is 107 inches

What do you think of electric gutter and downspout heaters? My problem this winter was that especially the downspouts froze solid so the whole roof drainage system backed up, causing ice dams and all the rest.

Get some d3. You will sparkle. I have no idea why it gets so cold in the Usa, its not even that high up. Must be something to do with the sea or the tilt of the earth. Basics.

sparkle? okay :) You know a lot of my friends and family have said that this is some weird ass weather here...I have to agree this is not normal WNY winter...I am surrounded by snow mounds everywhere around my house...I just want summer! We have had enough...watch now it will snow tomorrow or some shit

Not sure if I entirely understood the issue, but if it is going to snow for 40 days, turn off the heat on such things and let it freeze. You are not going to be able to melt and drain the snow off the roof anyway.

That's where the snow removal equipment comes in. Many parts of Norway roofs will have to be cleared off snow many times per winter, or the weight of the snow will crush the roof. You may want to check what snow load the roof construction is designed for.

yes lol. Embrace the snow. One day you might have to make it out. No. Im not a pyscic. Nyc is an island right. Dafuq if the bridge collapses haha.
The d3. Im not sure if it gives you mad dreams but yesterday, I was in a pub, then 3 blokes started to stab me with flick knives and they were really strong, like professionals or something. They kept beating me up and shit. When they left I decided to jump on the back of the van they left in to see where they were going. When it stopped, I thought il just run at the driver at the right moment and get a kick in but still to strong. More beatings, then I pulled out a samurai sword and maybe cut into one of their arms. Wierd. Im quite a placid person. Lets hope it isnt going to be real.

Take it easy anyway

Off key warrior. No worries.

This year I got a snow rake, which with the height and angle of my roof, is able to reach a few feet over the edge. If I get started on this before the ice dams form and keep the downspouts flowing, why would I not be able to keep the drainage working?

If you're saying the snow on the roof would not be melting and so would accumulate, well if the weight becomes too much of course that's a problem I don't know what my roof was designed for, it was built strong but built by the previous owner over 50 years ago. In about 2011 we had a bad winter and after there were piles of snow on the roof, a rainstorm was coming. That's when I paid a crew in an emergency to shovel my roof before the storm. Other neighbors were doing the same, because the rain would soak the snow and the weight would go up a lot. But this winter I wasn't in danger that way.

you need to find the pink dragon and fly away out of your imaginary scenario.

p.s. the dragon farts rainbows

LOL

Or try the UP of Michigan! Pasties and snow galore! 40 days...whatever.

well yea, that is "Advanced Training" which they can attend after basic snow enviro traing. they need to get at least a a 80% grade in basic snowland skills and training first thought I think?

(bet they dont even like snow campfires.... or snow camping! )

As long as it is frozen there will not be any moisture entering the drains - they will be sealed, so less of a problem. It is only when it starts to melt you want to pay attention.
