I think it was 1978 that we had all of the snow in Milwaukee. I had 6 steps leading down to the driveway from the kitchen. We had so much snow that year that for a while we could walk right out of the kitchen without going down any steps. When they plowed it we ended up with a pile 30 feet high that took until the middle of May to melt. Now you know why I currently live in Hillbilly Heaven!!
