after 4 hours of shoveling
On days like that, why even leave the house?

So I wake up this morning and they are telling me we have 15 inches outside (near Pittsburgh Airport) and it is still snowing. This is the most I have witnessed since Thanksgiving of 1974 when I was 2 years old. I look outside and there is a man 3 doors down standing waist deep in the stuff futility trying to shovel his driveway.

We had about 20 inches in Sarver (where 28 nicks butler county); and between the 2am friday night pendot truck turning around after it got stuck, and one of the two township trucks winding up in a ditch making pendot's effort a moot point I was stuck at my parents until sunday. One of the neighbor's said it was the most she's seen since 61.

The local news said we had 21 inches with 25.7 in 1993 (which I do not recall at all) and no mention of the 1974 thanksgiving snow at all which I remembered. However I guess at that age how would I know how much snow actually fell. Could have been 1 foot. Either way I do remember tunneling under the snow. Not sure at all how the parents let me do that. But this was 1974 and parents were definitely not as protective as they are now.

I remember the flood the following spring much more than the actual snow from that storm.

OK. Race fans excepted (Lenerville speedway) most people in the area have no idea that Sarver even exists.

We had 3 big storms dropping over a foot of snow wet enough to make snowballs with in a 2 week period. The fort I built had an interior area of 3.5x5.5 feet with 2 short and 1 long wall. The walls were chest high on me (probably around 4 feet) 2 were 4 feet thick at the base, somewhat thinner on top since I couldn't lift balls as big as I could roll. The third was only half as thick since I ran out of snow before finishing. The older kids across the street who'd been bullying me never realized I didn't actually have any ammo behind the walls. :D I don't think any of those storms dumped more than about 16" where I grew up though.

People laugh at me for living in Arizona when it's 110 in the shade here. But, I've never shoveled even one shovel-full of sunshine off my driveway.... :laugh:
You're missing all the fun, man!

You remember a snow storm from when you were two? Wow! I barely recall memories from when I was three and four and I think late in my third year and early fourth year is when I really started to retain memories. Two is impressive especially if there's detail.

That just about all I remember till 7 or 8. It quite was a big event. Snow higher than my head tunneling under the snow with the dog. Parents having to dig me out. :laugh:

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkI did not get any good pictures however. This link is from the local news station from pictures sent in from people all over the area. The pictures are very similar what I saw from my area. http://www.wpxi.com/slideshow/slideshows/22500497/detail.html[^]

Meanwhile here in Vancouver BC, we are about to have the warmest Winter Olympics to date. Mixed blessing, because I love the mild weather, but it will be interesting to see how it goes at the various venues...
