Worst winters ever?

That said, we got 32" of snow once, which was a really big snow. I remember being up on a ladder trying to knock some of it off my roof, because there were some buildings that collapsed under the weight. I lost my former barber shop in that snow.

In a different winter, we had some stretch of several days where the high temperature didn't reach zero. We had to put a heating pad on one of our water lines, because it froze up despite being inside the house. We eventually learned that it's next to a vent pipe, and the air in the vent pipe was so cold that it froze the water line that didn't even touch it. Very weird.

March 2003. We got 46" of snow at my house in 48 hours.
