1993 was a misery, here.

cars totally buried and not enough plows.

Oddly, when I was a kid, that was the norm.

When I was 7 or 8, while the neighbor was plowing us out, I was in the backyard in the dark, walking across the top of the ‘frozen’ snow.

I fell in and it was over my head and no one could hear me yelling over the noise of the tractor.

I managed to get out myself and that was the last time i ever walked across deep frozen snow.

:D
