We're in the lake effect zone off Lake Michigan, the winters of 77-78 and 78-79 were awesome to be 12-14. Huge snowfall amount followed by blizzard winds- we had drifts up to house eves throughout the neighborhood. Lots of tunnels dug and forts built, no school for two weeks straight.
By 82-83 I was in college, driving a 1973 Toyota LandCruiser FJ40, soft top only. I bought it from my Uncle when he retired from The Corps and he had it shipped directly to me from Kaneohe Bay Marine Base, HI. NOT a great Winter vehicle for comfort, but would go through any snow.
My Uncle on Dad's side was local cop, he called us on Christmas Eve and said the only vehicle that would make it to the farm that night was going to be my Toyota, so we all piled in. Mom was scraping the frost off the inside of the windshield as I drove and ruined my WMU parking sticker- cost me $30. Got so cold that next week the radiator froze solid since the Toy sat outside. I did not know until then that more antifreeze wasn't always better.
