I remember those 2 winters. '76 we got 36"s on top of about 20+. '77 the Ohio froze solid. I grew up across the river from Lousville. I've got family all over KY. I' back thet way fairly regularly. The '77 deep freeze I was backpacking in Red River Gorge. It was -14 degrees. we had a blast and big campfires!Last winter here was probaly worse than '76. we got at least 4 snows of 24" or more and it just kept stacking up. Several smaller snows as well. It was a record breaker. My super kept the whole street dug out and the 1/2 mile long road. The norm here is much like Ky. more sleet and ice than snow.
