I am more than twice your age... and this winter seems pretty typical.
The winter of 98-99 was colder than this one..... with more snow.
We had a fiercely cold winter in the Midwest.... I think in 93-94. 23 below zero stuff.
The winter (blizzard) of '78 was awful. Everything failed... cars, power, water lines. We had 60 continuous days of freezing or colder.... and 30 days below zero.
I think it was '56 when we had several feet of snow accumulation. All cars were rear wheel drive [back then]... everyone used chains. Roads were nearly impassable. In the spring we had floods.
