Blizzard of 78...

We were the last plane out of O-Hare before they shut the airport down. Spent a week in the sun and could not believe the amount of snow that had piled up while we were gone.

My sister and family didn't make it out, and were given 1 (count them.... one) night in a hotel. We ended up fetching them in our VW Rabbit. 4 adults, 4 kids, 1 snow shovel and 5 suitcases through 3 feet of snow. I miss that car.
