Wow.
Been following this on the internet - it's quite remarkable.

The BBC website had some interesting advice:
Some tips on surviving a snowstorm:
1.Make sure you have at least three gallons of drinking water per person, per day
2.Tape the windows with bubble wrap to keep the heat in
3.Use your dog to measure the snowfall

?!
I assume if you don't have a dog you could use a child?

Yelp = Height of snow to reach dog's testicles.

It's funny that we were both posting about measurements at the same time.

Surely there must be a benchmark breed.

Dachshund or Great Dane?
