Re the backend topic - that was great info - thanks a lot!  It's funny what you say about your memory of these events, because the blizzard of '83 is what started it for me in grade school.  Prior to that blizzard, I recall only the big events that I'm old enough to remember:  pretty much the blizzard of 78 and April 1982.  My snow memory post-Feb '83 is great up to and including Dec. 30, 2000.  After that it's pretty much all a blur, I think because it's been mostly a relative embarrassment of riches since then.
