I remember the storm. We lived in Aurora Illinois at the time, and the thing was HUGE. There were cars off the road in ditches, that were completely covered by snow so deep that it looked like they weren't there, except for the antennas sticking up.
The following July, there were STILL big piles of ice/snow that had been plowed aside to clear parking lots from the storm. The one at our grocery store was at least 4 feet high.
That might have been it. St. Louis probably would have gotten something from that storm.
