On a different thread people were discussing the blizzard of 1978. Going back a bit further, I wonder how many might remember the blizzard of 1967. It started snowing for us on the 26th and continued into the 27th. I could not get our car into the driveway but was off the road that night. I figured I'd just leave it and it would be easy to get out to head to work in the morning. Ha! The next morning I had to go out a window because our doors were all drifted with snow up to the roof. We lived near a 4 corners and with the drifting that night, on the 27th I found the snow to be over 10' deep right in the middle of the intersection.
I remember that was the biggest snowfall I had ever seen to that date. We got something like 27" and I know those depths were also reported in Chicago. It was a very wide spread storm. The big ones I remember well are the 1967. 1971 and 1978. We've had some big snows since but nothing like those 3.
