We got about 9"-10" of snow for our first snow fall yesterday--no laughing matter--but I've seen worse...

We would drive up to Niagara Falls to see the ice jam in the Gorge. The trees would be covered in ice.

I married and we lived in Delaware, Ohio for three years. The snow melted by noon. Sometimes there was ice. It melted by noon.
Then we moved to Philadelphia where the snow was cleared with a broom and people used umbrellas in the snow. There was one huge storm while we lived there. In February I recall wearing a velveteen jacket one year. I had a lightweight jacket that served me for 'cold days'.
We went to see the reenactment of Washington Crossing the Delaware on Christmas Day, 1975. It was a tradition at Washington Crossing Park, PA.

We had one winter in Norton Shores, MI. There was a brutal wind off Lake Michigan. The back of the yard was all wooded and untamed. Turkey, deer, and Pileated Woodpeckers visited daily.

We lived two years in Delton. The parsonage view was of farm fields.

Trees were bending and splintereing under the heavy snow. The damage was evident in the spring. |
Winter 2014 in Pentwater we had about 190" of snow! Every day my husband had to dig out the mail box...
