Thats was big but not 96' big. I would hope it would be something Canada or even Connecticut gets

I consider any snow storm where the snow total is at my hip level, a big storm. 2016 was 3 ft, 1996 was 4 ft. Both really bad blizzards. 2016 was especially a bitch bc of the weight of the snow. My big beast craftsman was struggling

January 78 over 4 feet snow fell in south Philly. We were off school for almost a week.

I know right, us kids made mad loot digging ppl out. Septa paid us to help clear trolly tracks on the big streets. 4th to 2nd & Oregon was a huge lot and hundreds of us built forts, snow didn’t melt for over a month, opportune to hit someone you couldn’t beat with snowballs an hide.
