As Utah experiences snowstorms that haven't been seen in years, some smaller towns and those in them are struggling to keep up.
"This is the fun part," said JR Johansen as he began clearing snow from his roof with a long pole and blade. "You can get hit pretty good with some of this stuff coming off."
However, now that he is an adult, he is more concerned about his roof and the weight of all the snow from recent snowstorms. "They can really create havoc," Johansen said.Johansen lives in Huntsville, and the town has been hit hard this winter with snow. So far, close to 140 inches of snow has buried the small town.
"I even have a good snow shovel," Johansen said with another laugh. "I was probably throwing 8 to 15 pounds of snow each time I was throwing it and twisting, and voila! I hurt my back." He's doing better now, thanks to help from his daughter and son-in-law clearing snow out of his driveway. Plus, the town is running out of room to put all the snow. Snowbanks are higher than cars in many places. All that snow leads to one-lane roads and cautious peaking around those snowbanks at stop signs.
