We usually had our first snow on Halloween, but it would just be a flurry that didn't stick.

We were there the year that still holds the record for the most snowfall over the winter, which was 240".

I remember that the trucks that cleared the streets were usually snow blowers, and the sides of the roads in the residential area had snow piled 8-10' high. There were times in the winter when the sidewalks were shoveled, but the snow was so deep that I couldn't see out of the area of the sidewalk because I was 8 and the snow was 4-5' deep.
