2007

Overthrowing the famous blizzard of 1966 to take the throne as the most famous blizzard to hit Oswego accumulating 10 feet of snow over the course of 8 days in February 2007. Personally this was an awesome event, school was cancelled for a week, stayed home played video games, drank hot chocolate and played in the snow. For others, not so much, some residences, cars, mailboxes, etc could not be found.. they were buried in snow! Some of this pictures in the gallery on the left depict that.
