This winter, we had a blizzard big enough that it stopped virtually all mechanized air and street traffic for a couple of days. The deer took back the streets, bounding through the city in the snow. People frolicked in the streets too, sledding down boulevards, doing handstands, stomping around between shoveling sessions.
If this is the blizzard I'm thinking of, it really was pretty awesome. First time I really got to build a snowman.
