While this years storms are impressive I would suggest that So, Cal. in 1968 got a truely impressive storm that snuck up on everyone in a time before satelites. Hit a freshly burned area and tried to cover large parts of Glendora in mud, lots of mud. Then some time in the late 50s I believe The Smith, Kalmath and Eel rivers got hit with an unbelievable storm(s). Drve through the area in the summer and you will see high water marked on power pole 1`0 feet in the air 1/2 mile or more from any river. Supposedly a 10,000 year storm. Life magazine had impressive coverage. It really impressed a mid-west teenage boy.
Winter of 96/97 in Western MN... 128 inches of snow... everyone then was saying they had never seen that but I remember just as bad of winters growing up. This winter is at 90% of that snowfall... difference now is they learned how to handle the drifts better and they use bulldozers to push the snow way out into farmers fields where it acts as a snow fence the next time it snows and blows. Spring of 97 was bad... Minnesota River near me had every bridge covered from the SD Border to New Ulm. Trying to get freight at work became a nightmare with tucks going 300 miles out of the way to find an open bridge to cross. That was the year Grand Forks flooded really bad...

These mental giants move to the mountains because it's pretty, without a clue as to what could and will happen, no preparedness for snow, extra food, extra firewood, gas for generator, sled, be it gas powdered or dog powder, large kettle to melt snow for water, snowshoes, warm clothes, battery powered lights, battery powdered radio ?? I have seen over 8' of snow fall in one weekend. If they live, they may learn, now will they remember ??? Prospectors are loving this, this will replenish lots of gold in the streams...
OH; how I miss living in the mountains...
It's all that hot air they create.
They have to learn not to look for things to get mad at.
Mad is bad.
