no

no

I live in Florida so...not really.

No

thats just a regular bad winter in MA. I think 2015 had a worse one. Had to go outside at work and unbury my car 3 times in one day.

---

no

---

Yep, right as I was getting my first home. Had also only been with my company a couple years and that was the first I watched them send someone out to the building and declare it open to avoid paying out for weather closings

This one was the record snowfall in a day in Pittsburgh. I have a single distinct memory of it (as I was 4 at the time) where the snow was taller than me.

That does seem like it was around the time where we had over a foot of snow for the first time in decades.

---

I remember it fondly-- the day before the cold weather hit, we had record breaking heat. It was nearly 80, and in just over 24 hours, the temp had fallen almost 100 degrees & we had something like a foot of snow.

Also, Mass Effect 2 had just come out, so I spent all day & night playing it while enjoying my time off from work, which closed due to the bad weather for I think 3 or 4 days.

That was when I had to walk to a mile and a half to and from campus every day. And the road sloped down in the middle, so it was literally uphill both ways.

Im from western Canada, so no.

---

Never forget it.

Senior in high school and we ended up having like a week off of school.

The streets in our area were so barren and dead it felt apocalyptic. Fun times.

---

Yep those were some crazy storms. Had to work through all of them.

Yeah, it was awful. It was actually back-to-back snowstorms here. I think we totaled 50 or so inches. I remember there were snow hills that didnt melt until June or July.

You werent allowed to drive in Baltimore for a few days, so it was this weird apocalyptic-like atmosphere.

When work resumed, it took me 3 hours to drive home from work every day because of all the road closures.

Yep, it was fucking stupid but awesome cause I was in high school lol

all the side walks were buried on both sides like a maze so every-time you walked across the street it felt like you were entering some new section of the maze

yeah I was 6 and I remember my dad shoveling a path from our front door and it was like walking through a snow maze

---

Yeah I'll never forget that. There was an earthquake that year in the DC area too, that was fun

This is one I remember and I was only 3 years old. We've never had so much snow in Mississippi. I remember the power went out for a good portion of my city.
