That was the winter that turned me into a hard core weenie. Mby, 3 miles south of BWI, got 1 inch the whole winter from a frontal passage the first week of 2/73. I remember it vividly because of the scars. Lol Funny that what made it so bad was we had 1 winter storm watch and one ws warning that resulted in no snow, just cirrus. They had a model back then, I think it was the LFM but could be wrong, and it sucked as much as the current ones. Because of that winter, I thought it would never snow again, so I pulled my first all-nighter in 12/73 literally listening all night long to the only album available, Alice Cooper's I'm Eighteen. Snow started around 5:30am allowing me a couple hours of sleep.
No 2 winters are alike, so I wouldn't worry about a repeat of that one. I'm sure there are plenty more unique ways to fail fortunately.
