I remember the blizzard of 1966 in the Northeast. I lived in Rochester, NY at the time. There was so much snow that the roads were closed. We didn’t have a car, and relied on the bus to get to work, but they weren’t running either. In order to clear the streets, they had to bring in payloaders to load the snow onto dump trucks and take it away.
They still use that method in Minnesota.
The 1991 Halloween blizzard. Went into work. Literally had to dig a tunnel through the snow to get to the door.
