January 30 - Tell about the worst winter storm you can remember as a child.

When I was a child, it snowed hard a lot! It seemed that we always got good storms with lots of snow. I remember being able to pull each other up and down the street on sleds because the streets never got cleared. We always had enough snow to build big snow forts so that we could have snowball wars or we had enough snow to build big snowmen. I don't ever remember it snowing enough to get out of school, though. But, we do live in Utah and they don't cancel very often for snow storms.
I would have to say that the winter of 1982-83 were probably the year we got the most snow because we had major flooding in the spring that year. We were able to get out of school to go help sandbag around rivers and houses. We also had a river going down the middle of State Street (downtown)....literally. They had built up walls to hold the water in and people could canoe down State Street. It was crazy!
