(16,994 posts)I've ed seen some extreme winter weather over the year having lived in New England.
There was the blizzard of '78 that was far worse then had originally been forecasted. My father was at work by the time they were told they could leave it was already very bad. He had a coworker with a bad heart who was afraid if he got stuck in it he would maje it si my father stayed at work with him. A state of emergency was called and people were told to stay off the roads. When that was lifted I think it was two day later my brother and I who were in high school drove into try and get my father out of there. We had to park about a half a mile way at the start of the Industrial park where he worked because the road was not plowed. As we walked passed the building at the start of the road we saw the antennas of cars sticking out of the snow. The snow had drifted that high over the cars parked in front if the building. Fortunately shortly after we made it to his building a big crew of Mack 10 wheelers with plows and some rossd sanders came in and cleared the road and oarking lot.
