Reminds me of the time that I went up to Marquette MI to visit a buddy who was going to Northern MI Univ.
It was in January 1975. They had received at least 10 feet of snow over the previous 2 months.
The local roads seemed almost like we were driving thru a tunnel with the top cut off. The snowbanks on the side of the roads from the plows were something like 15 feet tall. They were above the stop and road signs.
Alot of this was Lake Superior Lake effect snow.
Everybody up there was just going about their business as if nothing was unusual.
It snowed another 10 inches while we were there that weekend........No big deal for them.
