We had the same experiences in the same region. The 3/19/56 event was memorable in the sense that we weren’t yet at adult height (you could argue I’m still not) making the amount of snow seem so much greater. My dad was a pharmacist and had to get to work in the final hours of the March 56 storm. My brother and I were still too small to manage shoveling 2 feet. Dad ruined our ‘51 Mercury but he made it in time to make sure sick people got their needed medicine.
