95-96 had an epic pack early then melted most it before a reload. Could have been epic. We also had some late starters that held a good pack for a while but to get starting at the beginning of December until St Paddys day is rare.
One of the early 90s great winters came close to wire to wire. Every time it warmed up it was brief with a cold front with squalls ending it. Will probably remembers the year, I want to say 93-94.
My wife almost hit one last week, a small deer ran into the road in front of our car and just stopped and stared into the headlights. Close call but the little guy was alright.
Leaves are a PITA, I set up new house with as little maintenence as possible. When I was younger I loved working on the lawn all day, as I got older I hate it.
