The city of Boston set a record a few years ago with something like 105-110 inches of snowfall over one winter. The people at the Boston home office of my company at the time used to brag about that.

Then I pointed out to them that Mount Baker, Washington set a record for the Lower 48 states with 1,140 inches (that's not a misprint!) of snow in the late 1990s ... and the ski area there closes periodically because the snow piles up higher than the ski lifts.

LOL.

I had a good friend in the ski patrol up there at the time. One evening they returned to base to find their cars buried completely in snow in the parking lot. Couldn't plow them out or snow-blow them out because they couldn't see where they were. They stayed the night in the lodge and dug them out with shovels the next day. And it was snowing.
