In the early 90s I got stuck at my grandparents’ house for weeks. The snow was so deep that my dad was able to throw us off of a 15ft porch into the snow.
We dug tunnels all around the yard and built igloos.
Every year as a child I made snowmen. Every. Single. Year.
The snowman was standing from December to February.
My wife made a snowman with the kids, it was melted by the next afternoon.
I grew up in Ohio in the '70s. The first snowfall was usually in late September and the ground would be completely covered with snow sometime in October. The mounds of snow thrown up by the plow trucks would be 6-8 feet high and we built elaborate tunnel networks in them. We didn’t see hints of grass until late April and the snow wasn’t completely gone until May or sometimes even early June. Ohio still gets hit with winter these days, but nothing like that.
