One year while I was gone they got either 22 or 22 inches of snow within a 24 hour time period. Now Mom and Dad only live 1 mile from where Dad worked before he retired (in '94). The road was as straight as an arrow and as flat as a board. He had a 4x4 pickup and JUST barely made it home from work after they realized it was going to be a BAD snow. They were stuck at home for either 3 or 4 days.
