Ahhh. The good old days!

1938: On January 24, 1938, the blizzard of 1938 began across the U.P. with heavy snowfall bringing traffic and rail traffic to a halt for a few days. There were 12 foot snowdrifts in Ironwood with students trapped at school for 4 days. Many workers were trapped at work and people had to get out of their homes out of the second story windows in the U.P. In Marquette, the brand new WBEO radio tower had the top half come down and knocked the old radio tower out as well as knocked the radio station off the air.


1979: On January 24, 1979, snowcover reached a depth of 60 inches in Delaware.

Wow that would be awesome! I'll tell my children about it, they can picture that at school today and be grateful they will be getting out at 3 haha I had 50 inches on the ground one year in my extra lot, I dug a fort for the kids,measured and took pictures. That would be sweet to have a blizzard close to that one again someday, maybe next year.

I am 34 years old and the only Blizzard that I can even remember in S.E Wisconsin came back in 2011 about 5 days before the Packers won the superbowl. We had huge winds and about 15-20" of snowfall with drifts 4-8' in places. I want to live to see another one.

In April of 2007, the u.p. was hit with an epic 5 day snowfall that dumped 62 inches of snow on Painsdale. I was up there that weekend, and it was AWESOME! Hard to believe it will be 10 years this April!
