the best would be to invent a solar powered snow cannon. The more sun there is, the more snow there will be.

The snow cannons are only powerful foggers, by positive temperature they have no utility.

The only thing safe in the future. It is that there may chance that it conforms to our expectations ...

liquid nitrogen snow cannons exist, they make snow even if it is 15 ° C. But the cubic meter of snow costs more.

Yes, but in Pas de Calais, there have never been ski resorts.

What annoys me the most in this story is that we make a beautiful mayonnaise on a fact that we can criticize without question, it is a fact, but what is the impact of all this?

Ecological impact of this transport of snow, absurd, certainly, against all the people who let their car "run" in front of the bakery, for example, in order not to be cold (and this every day)?

And these are the same people who take offense at this "crooked little fart" ???? while they are "big poo" ????

Okay, I'm going to sweep my door ... : Arrow:

What is the relationship between ordinary individual stupidity and the collective mess organized to please small traders?

This is the nub of "war", on the contrary.

When all this individual "nonsense" falls, we won't even talk about such a mess.

It's not as simple as "there is more to it, we have to" ....

If only this kind of "abomination" remained on earth, it would not be very serious, and EVERYONE would denounce it ...
