"Feb 2011 Blizzard my German Shepherd making way through the drifts in my backyard," said AccuWeather.com Facebook Fan John F.

"Earlier in the day my husband had used the snowblower to clear the drive up to the street. You can clearly see how much we had received - we live in far north suburban Chicago and had a solid 2 feet without including the drifts. We had about a 5 foot drift on our deck in the back of the house, very amazed and happy that the deck didn't collapse!" said AccuWeather.com Facebook fan Cathy N.
