We're running out of places to put all this snow. So maybe it's time to brainstorm some good ideas of things to do with it.

1. Build a big hill in Loudoun County and charge admission to sled or ski on it year round.
2. Melt the clean snow and turn it into fresh drinking water.
3. Transport to Miami since half those folk know nothing about snow.

To Vancouver!!! I feel bad that Whistler doesn't have any snow. Oh and if you've never been to Whistler, I'd highly recommend it. But, I'm a little biased!

Now that's a brilliant idea. If we rounded up all the snow and built one huge pile, we'd have a great place to play. Can you imagine sledding at the end of August? Hey, it might still be there in August 2012! And they'd make enough money from admissions to pay for the snowplowing this winter.

And what the heck, they can build it in my yard. Why not, there's a mountain of snow out there already....

If Vancouver's running too low on snow we can offer to host a few events here. Can't you see the Capital steps making a dandy bobseld run?

They did that at my elementary school (southern california) each year. Someone's dad would drive up into the mountains, load their pick up with snow, and dump it on the playground so we could have a snowball fight at recess. It was the only snow a lot of us saw growing up!
