Most Boomers have been through many such inconveniences, having lived through six or more decades of winter weather. I do recall foot-deep snows and icicles as tall as I every single winter. There were a few incidents of inclement winter weather that impacted me as an adult. They were of course the much-talked-about Great Blizzard of 1978 and the KY Ice Storm in 1993. I read briefly about his first winter in 1779 when he brought his family, along with Daniel Boone, and settled here.
