Worst snow storm you've experienced?

20. Denver (several, but most snow 31.8 inches March, 2003)

March 17-19, 2003
This was a big one: 31.8 inches of wet, heavy snow fell over a few spring days and just refused to stop. Club Vinyl’s roof collapsed, the snow tore a hole in DIA’s white tent, and heavy loads of white stuff took down branches and sheds and committed acts of frigid violence all over the metro area before finally winding down. Residents took to cross-country skiing to get to the store for supplies, even as Denver worked hard to restore power to over 135,000 of its residents. If you were here, you have a story. https://www.westword.com/news/denver-ten-biggest-snowstorms-8657201/

I was living just off of Cheeseman Park at the time and dogs got to tunnel into the park where their "people" were buiding snow caves and happily "toking" the day away... LOL Even big dogs were buried by the snow, but happily floating enough with heavy effort to get through.

I likewise remember being stranded at DIA trying to fly out to New Orleans during the mostly unexpected 1991 Halloween Blizzard that closed down the airport for several days (and though I had snowshoes AND cross-county skis, ski coats, boots and all associated equipment, DIA security would not let me go back to my car in the garage to grab my equipment and ski the half mile or so down Pina Blvd. to a nearby airport hotel. So, at the end, the adults (myself included) were tired, hungry (food venders ran out first day & Red Cross was delayed bringing any) and about as cranky as the poor babies who had no clean diapers and their sibling toddlers. Still nothing like the 1997 and 2003 storms!

But, I still love snow!
