mine was the snow of 1993. we had four to five feet of snow with drifts up to 30:eek: .
we live on a hilly road that and the hills are 30 feet tall (that's like 9 metres) and the snow was flat across it:eek: :eek: :eek: :D . you could walk outside and tunnel you way to the next house. it was fun:D

I've never seen a big snow. The biggest one Ohio had, was when I wasn't born yet.:(
Biggest Georgia snow (or at least in my area) was about 5 or 6 inches back in the 70's.
My parents said that it was terrific.

About 4 1/2 feet I beleive, it was a couple of years ago durring a blizzard.
The most we've ever had here in NJ since my family has lived here was about 5 1/2 feet in Febuary 1977, about a year and a half before I was born
There was a pretty bad snow storm with like 4 feet in Massachusetts about 6 years ago.
Pretty bad, my house didn't have power for 5 days :eek:

Do you mean the highest you've seen it, or the most that you get in one go, as in it all comes down in one storm?
If you mean the most in one go, about 4 and a half feet. This happened in a two day blizzard a couple of years ago.
If you mean for actual total amount, I remember there being about 7 or 8 feet, with drifts that I used to be able to walk up and stand on the roof of my house with.

The worst snow I remember where I am currently living was back in the early 80's. We had 10-12 foot high snow drifts. I remember walking to my brother's house along a road with walls of snow on either side of me. As far as I can recall, we had to tunnel our way out through the front door of our house.
The most snow I remember in recent years was about 1-2 feet deep, which came down in one go.

I stayed in a tent for about 3 months above the Arctic circle back in 84.
Snow for as far as the eye can see.

that's about what ours has been, since i've been able to remember anyway, one day in april we got 5-6 feet of snow and it was just hellacious, but 3 days later it was gone cuz it was just a fluke

Well, in terms of snow, I had 3 feet of snow up in North Dakota, but then again, the temperature on Minot AFB for the runway was -98° F (-72°C... Think it was cold enough?)

Yeah, I'd say! :eek:
It occurs to me that the harsh winter of the early 80's might be attributable to the Mt. St. Helens eruption. It's well-known that large volcanic eruptions have an impact on the climate. I just watched Horizon yesterday, which reminded me about the really harsh winters in the late 1700s...when there had been a huge volcanic eruption somewhere. The winter basically lasted most of a year. Brrr.... *teeth chatters*

um, actually StormHammer, this took place in 1990. Which was after the effects of Mount Saint Helen's eruption had finally dissipated.
