Me and the other kids in the neighborhood walked around with our shovels, the drifts at the bowling alley were over 12 feet high, you couldn't see the front doors, the owner paid us all 5 bucks to clear the front entrance.
I spent a long weekend at Bolton a few years ago, it snowed all three days for a total of about 7 inches, it was great, it was light to maybe moderate once in a while. They had about 3 feet on the ground at the time.
