I can see that. We’re that way with winter Blizzards up here - they can blow the roof off your house, or crush you under the weight of the snow while you sleep. ;)
1976’s Ice Storm was one for the books for our state. I also remember a New Year’s Eve when we got 18” of snow overnight. That was another one for the books. Must’ve been about 1978-ish?
Winter of 78-79 was “The Incredible Bulk’, IIRC............
