We got here early 70s—bitter cold decade. Tons o’ snow, no money so we shoveled everything ourselves incl steep driveway w killer curve at bottom, like a luge run. 80s & 90s were even snowier; we shoveled tons then too but began hiring plowmen. 2015 was ridiculous: 7’ thru season here and 9’ in Boston area, which is where I had to drive many days & months to help care for a dear old relative. Shoveling there was massive cuz the humidity made the snow heavy and I needed to carve out a parking space for my car in his apartment bldg parking lot—after dark. I had enuf to do on the living-level surfaces; when I skied it was x-c—I left the summits to the gods & still do. Happy trails in ’23
