I remember the blizzard, I was 8 years old, and we were out of school for at least a week, maybe two. It was epic.
No power for a few days, heating the house with a kerosene heater and sleeping on the first floor because the 2nd floor bedrooms were just too damn cold. Snow drifts were 10's of feet high in places. And this pic, with that poor little Rabbit stuck like a bug. For reference, that is a four lane roadway with a center turn lane.

I look back on stuff like this and think...was the weather that much worse, or do we just attack it much more aggressively now when it snows.

We had similar results with a 2-2.5 foot snowstorm in Virginia in maybe ‘96ish. Gotta love the south. I think we were 10 days without power (which also meant no running water).

What happened to “Back in my day we walked 10 miles to school uphill both ways in a blizzard”?
That’s what you’re supposed to be saying, based on the 40+ owners manual.

There are pictures from buffalo during the blizzard of 77 and people are standing on the snow pack touching the giant traffic signals. I think it was a pretty bad storm and that combined with it being during the week crippled this area. Now it’s usually only a problem for a day or two if we get 36"+ overnight. Snowvember a couple years ago parts of the area got 92" in 48 hours. That was a pretty bad one too.

I was not quite 3, and living outside of Dayton. The snow in our front yard was deeper than I was tall. My dad was still teaching high school at the time, and didn’t have to go to work for over a week.

My dad was in the final interviewing stage with a company in MI during this storm. He met three other guys also stuck there at this time to boot they were also stuck in a hotel thanks to the snow pushed against the building.
Being fresh out of college the four guys dug tunnels and jumped from the 2nd story windows into the snow banks.
All four were eventually hired and they all worked together for over 30 years in various functions for the company, but always played golf or went out to dinner with the wives together.
The kids in all of the families are practically cousins thanks to a crazy storm and a boring hotel in Kalamazoo.
Every career milestone and at all of their retirements we got to hear about this crazy storm.
