Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare.

Nothing like being a kid and realizing that the snow is deep enough to build a network of tunnels, and you are free to spend all day doing that

Somehow, I never did that. Wish I had, that sounds a lot easier than what my family did. Though what we did was cool in a different way.
My older brothers built snow forts with stairs inside, leading to balconies and sled ramps on the top. They even put blocks of snow around the edges and put up a flag, resembling castles. My younger brother and I did grunt work - walking up and down the street, gathering and lugging snow to the build site. We all got to play in the end though, so we were happy to help. My older brothers always loved building things, and these forts were their collaborative masterpieces. Super snowy storms were the best.
