    I remember the ice storm of 98 but only because it dominated the news. we were not hit very hard at all, but an hour and 2 north of us was hit real hard. I don't think we even lost power on that one.
    We did however lose power with "the Labor Day Storm of 98". On that one we were without power for about 7-8 days. All of the neighbors were worse off than we were. We opened up our home and hosted about 14-16 neighbors for breakfast and dinner from about day 3-7. We made a party of it. I had to drive about 25 miles and stand in line for about 2 hrs. to buy some dry ice and they restricted how much you could buy so the vendor could serve more people.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Blizzard of 1970 in central Wisconsin. Not sure how much snow we got but drifts we're over 20 foot tall. I was mad because my parents wouldn't let me take the snowmobile off property as they thought I would run into power lines.

    The storm that stands out the most in my memory was the 1996 snow storm in Victoria. My family and I were in Vancouver at that time.

    The tempest that ensued after my Dad discovered that I had spit my prescription pills out into the waste basket made a lasting impression on my six year old mind.

    Ice storm of 98 is the most vivid for me. I was at university and came back to help my father for a weekend (he was an electrician). They were without power for I think 11 days. We made no syrup that year and barely enough for our own use the following year. We were assessed at 55% crown loss. We only recently got back to the same number of taps. We'd be well over 6000 taps now if it wasn't for that storm.

    Hi , i am jimmy , storm, July 19-20, 1996. This massive flood event shattered records in Quebec and Canada, due to its sheer volume and cost.

    A massive storm pounded the region with around 280 mm of rain in just a few hours, producing the largest overland deluge in Canada up to that point in the 20th Century - about the same as the amount of water that flows over Niagara Falls in a two-month period. Storm effect many countries in the world and many people killed.
