Yes, the closer one is to a city center, the more dangerous and hostile the environment. That is why it is critical to get away so that one can remove those risks. I'm not sure where you got the statistics from for rainfall, but here we get about 20" a year. 57" a year sounds more like the west cost rain forest type stats. :)

Sorry 57" was on the wrong chart - for British Columbia - my bad - you are correct - with around 20" and this is a combination of snow and rainfall - we don't get snow here :)

That is correct. We get about 20" a year which includes snow (when it melts equivalent). the chart you listed here is snow fall. Looks about right as we get about two feet of snow a year. More this year! Ridiculous amount of snow this year and we are not even done yet!
