Here in the High Plains we've gotten something like 2-4 inches of snow about 3 times this winter. When I was a kid, I've seen 3 feet of snow on the ground. Missed a week of school and had to go half days on Saturday for a month to make up for the missed days. I also remember winters when temperatures were around -20, and with 40-50 mile an hour winds we had chill factors down around -70.
