Lousy winter? Snow sheet!
The Akron area
had 69.5 inches of snow this winter (yeah, I know the calendar says it’s
spring, but tell that to Mother Nature!).
That’s the 6th
worse snowfall on record. 1977-78 piled up the most white crap, at 82 inches.
And 1950-51, which brought 45.5 inches in one November week to the Fairmont, West
Virginia area when I was a college freshman, hit the Akron area with 72.3
inches.
Other heavy
snowfall winters: 1960-61, at 81.5 inches; 1962-63, at 75.2 inches; and
1974-75, at 72.7 inches.
And then there’s
the constant cold. But don’t get me started on that.
