I remember the winter of, I think, 1994-95. I was at Howard Community College, and they had to shut down for lack of parking due to snowstorms and then ice storms. Early 1996 was the big one that had me snowed into a friends house (with a dozen other people) after my 21st birthday party, and I remember a good portion of the winter being snowy and cold, and in particular climbing the packed drift of snow up the front steps of my SO's house because why would a bunch of 21 year olds own a snow shovel? ;)
