I remember it too. My sister & I were at a basketball game at the High School, 'twas January 13, 1950 and the snow had fallen so quickly, we called Mom after the game to see if we could stay in town with two girlfriends (sisters also) and go home the following morning. Which we did, but a 2 mile walk from town to home took quite awhile, and it was deep, seems like it was to our knees. And I recall it snowed more during the month. Also vaguely remember hearing that several business in Tacoma kept their employees overnight, whether one night or more, that I don't recall. Anyhow we were out of school the rest of the month of January. We were on a school bus route and the bus could not make it up the cemetery hill road. Of course, we use to get snow, now a flake of snow causes school to be shut down. As a youngster in Illinois the snow drifted up to our window sills and we thought nothing of it. But we were really kids then and loved it.
