Does anyone remember the Blizzard of ’78? That was wild. I remember WEEKS we didn’t have school, and the drifts being FEET high on major, 55-mph roads. Crazy stuff. 100 mph winds even after it stopped snowing.
So I guess this is like summer vacation compared to that — ha ha.
And WHO again was the crazy one who said we didn’t have enough snow this year?
