We'd get more snow than Boston is getting. Snow piled everywhere. The kids would dig out the heaps of snow and build forts and snow houses. One thing about the snow up there, it was very dry and powdery. If a snow fort did collapse and it would sooner or later, the snow was light. One time I was driving and was hit head by an oncoming car, both cars were driving slowly. I could see that the lady was going to hit me, but the snow banks on the sides of the road were so high, I had nowhere to go to get away from her, so I had to let her hit me.

The worst thing about the heavy snows was breakup when all the snow seemed like it melted at once!. Mud and water everywhere!
