Too many memories of growing up at 6000' in the Rockies where we had to get up every two hours to shovel snow. Often had over 5' of snow in the front yard.
Worst winter memory was having the car freeze solid for two weeks in spite of a lower radiator hose heater. Had to run extension cords out there and run high wattage bulbs to finally thaw it out. Standing temp was below -40* and wind chill was way south of that. Had to walk a lot, but met some nice people who offered rides.
Don't miss that at all.
