"When I got back to it in the morning, a plow had totally boxed my car in and I spent the next eight hours digging it out."

"I remember I almost got fired from my job when I called," wroteShaun Sugar Crane. "Wasn't 'til two hourslater they understood that I was physically unable to get there."

JoshuaBerhthramn added: "This was the day my 20-minute direct bus commute home from the U of S took almost three hours."

Horrible day

Ton, or @noteey, tweeted to say it was a "horrible day" because "I found my car caught on fire/destroyed in parking garage."

"I remember my hat blowing off my head in the bank parking lot, then after trying to chase it for no more than fiveseconds, giving up and turning around only to face the storm and immediately regret chasing the hat," wrote ChrisKlassen.

"The 30-yard trek back to the bank was the only time I've ever felt panic for being underdressed for the weather."

It was worse in 1947...

"At least it is not the prairie blizzard of 1947," wroteJadonCarnduff.

"I have pictures from that blizzard. It was crazy!" repliedRonda Harrison. "This was February1947!"
