18. Like it was 30+ years ago..blizzard '78..Massachusetts..will never forget..

Normal hour drive from Braintree to Holliston..5 hours..company too late letting us out of work..3PM ..just made it home ..RT 128 to I 95 to 495 in Foxboro..and head north..just follow the car tracks and hope no accidents..my car sat IN the end of the driveway, thankfully off the "country road", for 5 days..a huge long nose plow came through, I forget what they call it..

Who knew how bad it would be, but, in 30 years people haven't figured it out yet...come on man!! Sorry, (been living on Planet Football for a week or so)

Great suggestions on thread..
