I’m guessing that was the same year I’m remembering in Minnesota. One of the only times I recall actually being snowed in.
I would have been 16. The neighborhood took turns having the party/meals at various homes. The guy across the street had his snowmobile at home and would do booze runs to the store.
I recall here in mid Michigan in 1976 having an ice storm (worst in my memory) and we were without power for quite some time.
78 was horrible in New England too
