I can remember one part when I had to trek out into the storm to feed my geese and I literally could not see anything further that 2 feet away from my face, I got lost in my own back yard. Where we lived in NY the snow was so deep that the snowplows could not get through. We were stranded in our house for 3 days until they got a couple of bucket loaders to come up to our neighborhood to dig us out, we had to go out and show the guys running the bucket loaders where the roads were so that they weren't plowing down peoples fences. The snow was easily 7 feet deep with drifts up to 20 feet.
