I knew it legendarily bad, but I didn't think it was that bad. Here are the top 5:
1. 23.0 inches Jan 26-27, 1967
2. 21.6 inches Jan 1-3, 1999
3. 21.2 inches Feb. 1-2, 2011
4. 20.3 inches Jan 13-14, 1979
5. 19.3 inches Feb. 1-2, 2015
I missed the fourth worst one in '79 (lived in Germany), but I lived in this same house for #2 & #3 (Photo of #3 on the left--view out of my front "unopenable" door). #2 cost me about $14,000 because water came gushing into my house and destroyed all of my windows.
I was only 3 1/2 years old for #1, but I remember it well. It's one of my earliest memories because my Opa (grandfather) and I played in the snow for hours.
