You still all about the big dog, aren’t you.?. In order to get 20”+ storm u need a 2nd moisture source. The one time in recent memory that we did have over 20 inches in 1974 I believe personally it was something similar to what happened in Toronto today. we were getting an East wind/feed right off lake Erie.as well as the Atlantic/Gulf. I could be wrong but that’s what I think may have happened.
I think our winters are not bad. It snows literally almost every day in a cold pattern. I must’ve used the shovel or snowblower 6/7 times in the last 10 days. some of these areas like Boston/NY/Indy they can go weeks or even entire winter with barely any snow. I’m in my 40’s as well. There was times where we were very close. everything is gotta work out perfect here.
