I can remember a few here in PA that were worse (Winter of ‘77, Christmas ‘83, Reagan’s 2nd. Inaugural)
Has been awhile though.
Boston transplant that won respect of the natives becasuse I survived in the direst of circumstances (that everyone knew about, and took bets on ... heh heh heh)
ONE neighbor whom I respected and was a respected member of the community remarked I was now a mountain man.
