I remember listening to the radio desperately hoping that my school’s name would be spoken. It frequently was which was fortunate because I wasn’t sure I could find the school in the blizzards in WI.
Cheers would go up when Hickory Grove Elementary was heard, the hot chocolate would come out and we would have a fun day.
Me to during snow storms... I listened on WTIC radio to hear if Sunset Ridge in East Hartford would be closed. If it was, sledding or skiing at Sunset Ridge or Wickham Park. I also snowmobiled at Christiansen’s Farm. That is after I snowblowed the sidewalk and driveway.
