I was remeniscing (sp) about perhaps my most fond snowstorm (and entire winter) ever. On December 25, 1996, while visiting grandma in Montana, an extremely potent snowstorm moved into the Northern Rockies and began dumping snow at an unbelievable rate. By the day's end 38 inches of snow had fallen within 24 hours. The next day, another 13 inches. Then more after that. Total tally in Anaconda was 78" from one storm that lasted several consecutive days. Consider also that this came on top of 2 feet that had already fallen previously.
In order to get inside the house, we were forced to climb a ten foot snowdrift to a window upstairs. Entire bottom story was smothered in snow. And it didn't melt, either - a month long period of sub zero temperatures (along with 2 weeks of -20 and three days of -40 to -50) set in, and snow just continued to pile on all the way through April - although I was back in NYC by then.
I want a repeat of that winter. I NEED it!!!!!! It was by far our most intense winter on record, but still the possibility exists.
