Mine was probably the winter of 95 when the eastern Dakotas got hammered .
Took me a week to go from Omaha to grand forks and back , parts of I 29 looked like a tunnel the snow was so deep.
What's your most memorable blizzard ?

Christmas Eve, 2011 I think - coming back from California to Joplin - we ran 10 and 20 to Abilene to try and skirt around it - no joy.
Drove around barricades in Oklahoma and slogged on through. Had a Bosnian driver following us - telling me "Man - you CRAZY" . . .
Got in late Christmas Day - beat. -

Don't drive around barricades in North Dakota , hell of a fine and you are on your own until the roads become plowable ... Minnesota too.Big_D409, albert l, Rusty Trawler and 1 other person Thank this.

Mine was the Winter of 1994. I drove all over the upper Midwest. One night I drove on I-66 near Front Royal, VA. There was slush in the left lane for almost 100 feet. That was the only snow I saw all year.
