    I partially agree with this.

    Do it to tree stumps not fire hydrants. I always thoroughly clean out buried hydrants with a walkway to the street during snowstorms.

    It’d be pretty fucked for a house to catch fire and the hydrant is hidden under a snowman.

      I agree you shouldn’t use a fire hydrant.

      I got to imagine firefighters in snowy places have a rough idea where to find them. Otherwise people’s houses would be burning down left and right.

      But I’m not a firefighter and I don’t I’ve never even seen snow so I could be wrong.

        Fire hydrants in snowy places often have tall, vertical, very visable posts attached to them that can be seen above the snow bank.
