Heh, I had to have like 200 stitches removed from when I had my hand crushed and we got snowed in two appointments in a row so I just got scissors and tweezers and went to work.

The best way was every other stitch you cut.

Takes forever if you do them one at a time, but the draggy feeling just gets to be way too much if you go for three.

Makes me shiver just thinking about 3.

The doctor that did my surgery specializes in neck and head cancer. Because cancer sucks enough, he likes to leave no visible scar. I do not know how he does it but the net result is a scar with two tiny knots at each end. To remove, they cut the knots at each end and pull on one side. It leaves a hair thin line of discoloration rather than your typical Frankenstein thick scar with staples or stitch lines.

what does "snowed" mean in this context?

Actual snow from the sky covering the roads till they shut them down

When it snows so much that the roads become undrivable.
