That's great, Ed!   Cool pic!  

I recall getting too much in the way of "lots of snow" in January 1966, and a couple times in the early 1990's, but apparently, those times did not ever exceed that November of 1950.

Thanks for sharing, any or all of us who were living in the Greater
Pittsburgh Area remember the "1950 Thanksgiving Snow Storm",   living at
the very top of the hilll in  "Cement City" in Donora, I can remember as a
10 year old going with my Dad and brother down these narrow paths thru the
snow which towered far above my head and or even my Dad's head to get to the
local grocery store, back then most everyone depended on the 

grocery story down on the corner for their "daily" staples, only to find
they were "sold out" of most everything, 

but we survived, eventually we hiked down the hill  to Donora's First
Street and Mckean Avenue only to find the local street car line wasn't
operating, (street was covered with snow) but a local store there had
"bread" and Milk, and we trecked back up the hill to our home.   Yes I
remember the Great Snow Storm!

Here's a "story-telling" memory about the 1950 Thanksgiving  Snow Storm,
from today's Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
