The snow warnings you haven't heard yet: [View all]

I live in an area where the current Boston-type snow levels happen on a fairly regular basis. There are some hazards of deep snow that I haven't heard mentioned:

1. Children love to dig into the snow and make a snow cave. This can be bad news if the cave collapses. The same goes for tunnels.

2. It's easy to fall head first into a snow bank and get stuck. This can be very serious if the fallee can't breathe.

3. Kids love to climb up on top of mounds of snow and/or go sledding down them. This can be a hazard should the kid end up in the street in front of a car.
