Snow and sometimes lots of it. Like in Winter of 1980 we got about 20 inches over night. The next week we got 8 inches, and I was trying to drive home - a blizzard.
Had to stop and scrape the ice off the window every 30 min. That was a rather unusual winter. The kids went back to school for about 1 or 2 days after Christmas break, and missed the next 2 months.
They missed so many days, the legislature had to pass a law to allow them some lee way on making up the days.
Wow that’s a lot of snow!
Missouri, right?
Ozarks or more north?
We get that much overnight sometimes. We figure 8-10 inches is a normal big snow. 12-20 inches is a real snowstorm (if within a 24 hour period). 24 in. to whatever is a real “event” or significant storm. 6 inches or under (after the first snow of the season) is kind of a nothing burger. UNLESS it is icy snow of course.
