    3. Hi you guys - 1950 was the year we got almost a foot in Oregon - I have pictures of me and Keith Wolfard building a snowman - wonder what happened to him? In 1982 I got in on the worst snow storm in 100 years in the mountains above Denver, about 1100 feet, and that was 3 feet. The snow was up half way on the outside doors and we had to use a broom to get out to get to the snow shovel. The mayor of Denver was ____ McNickels (you know, McNickel's Stadium in Denver) - it took 3 weeks to clean up the streets in downtown Denver and he was up for reelection that spring - he wasn't reelected! That was a snow storm. Six feet would have buried our house after it blew around! In Denver they would call what we get a light dusting! The next year they had the worst hail storm in 100 years - hail stones as big as grapefruits in Golden where they make Coors beer. The next year they had the first tornado up against the mountains in 100 years, and I said I was going back to WA and some actually had the nerve to say it rains all the time here. I find I really like the rain. If we ever had 6 feet of snow in this country it would never be forgotten. I don't remember 3 feet of snow in my 5 years in Klamath Falls which has snow 4 months of the year!
