i think we only got like 6-8" around here but the winds made it bad. I cant wait for some 20+" storms

ah I wish that was the record amount around where i am right now... I went to college at SUNY Oswego... I was there when we got the like 9 feet in 36 hours. It was declared a state of emergency, and the national guard was sent in to start removing the snow in dump trucks! I came out from college to do my parents driveway... and the snow was over the roof of my ranger at the end of the driveway... over my head even when I stood on the tube steps!
Nothing like climbing a mountain of snow to snowblow a driveway.... I like the snow though, its nice to know I can drive in it and other cant :) I get places with less anger!

Was that around Feb 1997 ?
I live on the East end of the county , on Tug Hill.
We had 97" in 24 hours from 5:30 Friday morning to 5:30 Sat morning plus 4 feet by Sunday noon. I was plowing steady for 60 hours before I curled up in the seat and passed out due to lack of caffein.

Haha I live in Eastern Iowa and got what he got as well...it's fun as hell.
I loveeeeee driving around through town in the snow..because no one is out. You can pretty much go wherever you want.
Plus I made $40 today for pulling/pushing people out of being stuck. It was quite nice, especially since I didn't ask for money.

Yeah feeln the cold now. Going to be like zero for a high and -20+ windchill. These are the temps when winter starts to suck. When you can't uae an extension cord cause it won't bend. Glad I dont work construction anymore.
anyways, that tractor made me laugh, in california the government worker unions would be too uptight to let the farmers help
