 Record Snow
 The
early months of 1996 were marked by the most profound
snowfall in the history of the Laboratory. On the
eighth day of January, the "Blizzard of 96"
deposited more than 20 inches of snow into 50 mph
winds, closing schools throughout the area and many
local roads. While most Laboratory staff stayed home
for a "snow day," dedicated members of our
Facilities Department braved the elements and
traveled to the Lab to clear walks and roads on Lab
grounds, and mechanics arrived to assure support for
labs where research continued through the storm. On
April 10, yet another foot of snow blanketed the
grounds during the twentieth snow storm of the
season, making the winter of '95/'96 the snowiest on
record. The Facilities staff worked tirelessly to
keep the campus safe and clear, and for this we are
most appreciative.
