March 2003, near where I live. I was at work. Barely made it home. 2 hours shoveling to get into the driveway at 1 in the morning. Another 2 hours the next morning shoveling off the patio roof before it could collapse. Wet, heavy stuff.

I well remember that storm...I was on shift the next day and spent a good bit of the night shoveling out of our cul-de-sac so I could get a run at the main street...

Busting up to 4’ drifts in my Ranger, in 4wd and all 4 chained up, I made it to work...Took awhile digging out of that one...

Mine had to be a different year, 2004 or 2005, and the big snow dump came before Christmas. After the plows caught up, the large parking lot next to my workplace was cleared (private plow) and the resulting wall of snow was too tall to see over for about 90 days. Crazy.

I am from Pittsburgh but now live a bit west in the Ohio Valley in Ohio just north of Wheeling. Mom passed away, lost the house to make a long story very short. Anyways, a couple of years ago, I drove from here to Pittsburgh to work and I remember one snowstorm where the roads had like 6 to 8 inches of snow and were not touched. I drove home 45 miles in my 2004 Hyundai Sonata (has the standard 4 cylinder engine) with only front wheel drive. I've seen 4x4's trapped in the snow. Maybe I should not have done that and I think I'll never do it again but I did make it.
