I was a 18, senior in high school and glad that the storm came on Friday so that I only missed one day of school. I wasn't trying to graduate in July so Friday storms were a huge bonus.
I got 5" of snow in one hour between 4pm and 5pm that Friday. 12" in 3 hours. Lightning, thunder...the 3 hour period from 3pm to 6pm that day was the best 3 hours of snow I've experienced in ANY storm in my life. Not often does a foot fall around here in the time it takes to play an NFL game.
