Same winter storm hit Indiana too. My senior year in high school. I was out of school for 1 1/2 weeks. After the snow fell, and the temps plummeted, my old Chevy Nova was the only car on the block that would start. I was giving jumps to all the cars whose batteries were dead.
I was at I.U. at the time.
Had a blast! Jumping off balconies into huge drifts, making snowmen, and snowball fights.
They called off classes for the week but later made us go on Saturdays to make up for the missed time.
Bummed at the time but then later realized they were giving us our moneys worth. Doubt that would happen today.
