Thats incredible, sometime in the early 70's before '72 if I am correct, I was real young, we had snowstorms that pale in comparison to anything I can recall in recent times, even 3'-0" events, of course everything seems larger then. We had some kind of longer event, blizzard or whatever you call it. The town was cut off, the 2 lane state road was impassable, and all available equipment was either stuck or overwhelmed, state nor the town could do anything, particularly the section where the road was cut through 30' of rock, it filled in with snow, it was high, but I was too young to say how high. They called upon my father, to get his WWII era D7 out and clear the road, he punched through that drift, he plowed several miles with it, per what he told me where he turned around, was alomst 3 miles down the road, and then had to come back the same distance, that D7 started in cold weather like this because of the starting engine on it, I do believe I have one side of the paper work, he charge them for a few hours, and I think its the bill or receipt, one of which I cannot find, its a neat story, and I still have that D7 today, its part of this towns history. Nice to have a record of it, too bad no photos or none I am aware of.
