East Coast Storms
Man, the East Coast is getting dumped on! You folks probably won't believe this, but I AM SO JEALOUS!! I love the snow, the more the better. But at the same time, growing up in Montana and living in Colorado for the last 10 years, my environment/state has always been prepared for it. The worst (or best storms, depending on how you look at them) storms I've ever been in are:
- Montana 1989: -80 degrees (F) in Missoula when I was a freshman at Big Sky high school (my mom was completing her Masters in Forestry at UM and Kalin and I decided to experience big city life).
- Denver, November 1992: 3 feet of snow in 8 hours when I was a freshman at DU. I stayed up all night studying for a final, and took the final at 9:00 a.m. that morning. The snow was blowing so hard that I had to walk back to my dorm backwards. When I got there I learned that the rest of Finals Week was cancelled. It was the first day and I only had to take 1 final! The City of Denver, including the Airport, was shut down for 3 days.
So sad as it may sound, I actually envy you guys.
