是的，但你的暴雪能做到吗？1938年，在密歇根上半岛的世纪风暴中，一些积雪达到了电线杆的高度。本周，这场始于86年前的暴风雪在两天内降下了近一米的新雪。随着降雪和强风将积雪堆积到超现实的高度，许多道路不仅无法通行，而且无法耕作；人们被困，汽车、校车和一列火车陷入泥潭，甚至一场危险的大火肆虐。两人被杀，一些学生被迫在学校连续呆了几天。这张特色图片是一位当地居民在风暴过后不久拍摄的。尽管所有的雪最终都融化了，但像这样反复出现的暴风雪有助于在我们地球上多雪的地区建立持久的冰川。

Yes, but can your blizzard do this? In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's Storm of the Century in 1938, some snow drifts reached the level of utility poles. Nearly a meter of new and unexpected snow fell over two days in a storm that started 86 years ago this week. As snow fell and gale-force winds piled snow to surreal heights, many roads became not only impassable but unplowable; people became stranded, cars, school buses and a train became mired, and even a dangerous fire raged. Two people were killed and some students were forced to spend several consecutive days at school. The featured image was taken by a local resident soon after the storm. Although all of this snow eventually melted, repeated snow storms like this help build lasting glaciers in snowy regions of our planet Earth.
