Fortunately, it seems that most of the very largest storms have been on the weekends. Odd, that.
The President's Day Blizzard was in 2003, and I remember it VERY well indeed. Here in DE - it dumped 30" of snow on us. It was several days before we even saw a plow. The worst ones I remember were in 1978-79(?), and snow had drifted so bad, that it came to about an inch from the top of the sliding glass door. We had to use the front door and dig our way to the back of the house to clear the rear entrances!
But on the brighter side - it's supposed to be in the 50's here by the weekend! Doin' a happy dance!!!!!
