We had over 2 feet of snow January of 2010, some places more.  I 
remember being out of school for just shy of 2 weeks.

That's the worst here I remember in my lifetime, but I've talked to a 
few people who recount the great Thanksgiving snow of 1950.  My 
grandmothers were both hardly teenagers, but the whole tri-state area 
was under 3+ feet of snow.  Locally, people told me that a tank brought 
people supplies, because that's all that could get down the roads. 
People were fully snowed in for days.
