I recall only once in my life being home-bound for two solid days, and a really bad third day (but you could get out if you absolutely had to on the third day). We weren't blocked in the house, but nobody could get out of parking lots or driveways to go anywhere. Everything was burried. We had two big snow dumps back-to-back, and there were several feet high drifts. They didn't have anywhere to put all the snow after the second show storm hit us... That was in the early 90s here in Northern Maryland...



We had horrible winters in the mid-west (Iowa) when I was a kid, but I don't recall ever being house-bound other than a day or two in a row when it was extreme (I mean extreme) and they closed school. They close shool for a heavy frost around here (Northern Maryland), but in Iowa, it had to be so many degrees below zero, so many inches/feet of snow, etc...
