I was 10, but I don't remember it. I do remember that when I was a kid it seems like we got a heck of a lot more snow than we do these days.
Everything seemed a lot larger when we were kids.

I grew up in the inner city and my perception for the amount of snow we used to get was that we always got buried and snow was everywhere. Thinking about it now I came to the realization that in the inner city there was nowhere to put the snow as we really didn't have big from yards or open space to move it so snow would pile up all winter in snow banks along the roads or any other small open area you could put it giving the illusion of more snow then as opposed to now where I live in a town with plenty of space.
 
I remember the blizzard of 1978. I was stationed in New Hampshire at the time---tons of snow!!!!!!
We were there at the same time -- never shut the base down. Couldn't drive out of base housing, but if you could make it to the main drag, busses would take the trip around the base. If I recall, it was 39.5" in 24-hour timeframe. Once the roads opened up I filled the bed of my old Dodge D100 up and drove off base & unloaded it -- didn't have anywhere else to pile it.
 
In that 78 Blizzard I was 18, I lived about a mile from my downtown, the new Kiss Alive II came out and I walked down to my Murphy's store to buy it, just got there when they were getting ready to close, got the album, walked back home, played it, very disappointed in it, and said I walked through a damn blizzard for this crap.....lol
