"Blizzard Largest In City's History"
So states the Tribune in a headline.
M'eh
I’m calling bull on this one.
For one thing, snow is measured at the airport, which gets pretty high winds, I might note. This is probably the largest blizzard the airport has recorded.
Folks on the mountain found and published an article from the Easter 1973 storm in which the Trib reported the mountain got "feet", as in around 10 feet, of snow. I vaguely recall that storm. Was it as bad as this one? I suspect so.
Frankly, this storm just wasn't that unusual. We were just paying attention, as we aren't used to them anymore.
We may have to get used to them again.
