Just wait a couple years, Jenny, and you'll be thinking 60mph is a breeze. We're way overdue for a good 3-day whoop! The actual record, if memory serves, was 134 mph, set on the edge of Davidson Mesa, above Marshall. The 134 was what the anemometer was pegged at when the wreckage was retrieved. Seriously.

In terms of snow, ask anybody who's lived here awhile about the infamous Christmas blizzard of (I think) 1983, and the killer Thanksgiving blizzard in the mid-70's. Marshall Road was a set of ski tracks for 3 days... Received on Tue Aug 13 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
