Re: Snow city USA!
Snow forts and epic snowball battles. My dad had a tractor with a snow blower and sometimes couldn't throw the snow over what was already there.
I remember my brother driving his 75 Pontiac Catalina onto a snow bank on the side of the road and the car was 5 feet off of the ground. That is a heavy car.

Re: Snow city USA!
I'll have to ask my Mom if she still has the picture of my brother standing on snow plowed up at the side of the road, straddling the telephone wires!
We were snowed in for 3 days, until we heard the welcoming growl of an OshKosh V-plow coming up the road. All we could see was the black smoke from the hood stack. That would have been early 70's.
The previous really bad storm, in the 60's needed a Cat D-8 to clear the roads.

The snow is nothing compared to places like Steamboat Springs, Co. They already have 112 inches. Having 40 FEET a season is not unusual.
I grew up in Erie. We had one snow day in my 12 years of education, and that was in 1956 when we got about 48 inches in 4 days. We were able to walk to school, but couldn't get in because the snow was too high around the school. We still went to school because we had never even heard the term "snow day".
When I moved to Va. with my family in 1979, the first snowstorm of 6" closed schools for a week.

Re: Snow city USA!
In 1976 we were in Newport News, VA, we got a dusting and school closed. Having lived in Rhode Island prior to that it seemed strange. A couple years ago here, school closed the night before because of the forecast, the storm completely passed us, didn't even have anything laying, but since they had already called off they didn't change their mind come morning.
I believe the administration got a lot of angry phone calls about that one.Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.
