[P.O.E.]

The wimpification of the US is complete. First, blame the lawyers and the lawsuit lottery players.

But I drove to work that day in ‘78, made it a little late, but life went on.

Lived in the Rochester Gulag of the Peoples republic of NY at the time

Made it to work everyday, but it did, along with some other factors cause me to join the AF that spring

Had to get out, weather being a factor.

Never looked back. God Bless TX :)

I was in 8th grade. We lived in Fairview Park. They let the bigger kids out at noon and we all walked home. They kept the little kids at school. I remember later in the day walking toward the elementary school to collect my sister. We only had one car in those days and dad was not any where near home yet. Mom was home with my baby brother.

I found my sister about half way home and we made it home safe. She was in 4th grade. My dad made it home only to be activated. (National Guard). I remember getting stuck in the driveway on Saturday because my mom insisted that I go to catechism class. LOL

I lived in Massillon and worked in North Canton. I remember driving to work that day — huge wind gusts blowing me over the icy road, drifting snow, bitter cold, but overall not that big of a deal. Got to work and there was nobody in the parking lot. Walked in and the guard said “What are you doing here? We’re closed — no work today.” I was shocked because I’d driven through much worse in the Sierras.

I also lived through the blizzard of ‘66 in Fayetteville, NY just east of Syracuse. And walked to class at Mizzou in 20 degrees below.

You’re right about the wussification of the US today...all this blah, blah, blah over some simple winter storms. And don’t get me started on this “wind chill” or “feels like” BS.
