Don't exactly remember 83, seems like 6 or 8 winters around that time were bad. In 83 my wife would have been working 30 miles west in Finley Hospital in Dubuque Iowa and I worked 30 miles east, she always drove my El Camino and I drove her Chevette, don't remember having trouble starting them or getting stuck although I wouldn't want to do it again.

The township opened that dead end road with a dozer about a week later. But any of those winters driving RT 20 was like going through a tunnel.
