Well, since the link gives me white screen on my sad slow computer - it does look like _lots_ of snow. And, **iconoplast** - yes, thank you, I’d be grateful for some snow, but I don’t want it when it has gone all slushy and soft.🙂 ---

True story. Female training instructor to flight of female trainees in basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in September of 1987: “In the at ease position your heels are twelve inches apart. Spread them. What your boyfriend told you was twelve inches was more like four. (Holds up hands, palms together one foot apart.) THIS is twelve inches. Aren’t you glad he lied?” I’m telling you, it was hell on all seventy of us guys standing at attention nearby not to burst out laughing. I know. Nothing to do with snow, but that event always comes to mind when people start making jokes about how long it is. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thats-six-inches/140677.md?page=1)
