The worst blizzard I've been involved with started Jan 10th 1975 and blew for three days. 18" or more of snow and wind up to 60 MPH gusts. It was hard as cement.I don't think anyone knew exactly how much snow we had in inches because it came down horizontally but 18-20 inches seems to be what they settled on. I remember walking to my neighbor's place a half mile away and having to step over the power line between the barn and yard pole. The road by us wasn't opened for a good week or more. We had an open winter up until then but after the blizzard the snow kept coming in 3-4 inch amounts with wind so the roads kept drifting shut. When the plow did go by we hurried into town to get supplies before it drifted shut again. It kept up this nonsense till the middle of march. The winter of 1978-79 was about like 75 only we didn't have the big blizzard, just lots of snow all winter long. A neighbor lost the mirrors on his struck going through one of the cuts in the snow on the road. We haven't had what we could call a really bad winter since then. Jim
