I remember that storm, I was 12. The snow was not only deep but it blew against our and others houses. To get outside we climbed out my bedroom window on the second floor and then shoveled out the front door it took a long long time, and it was fun. Us kids dug tunnels everywhere and had great toboggan hills and snow castles till it melted.
Schools were closed and everything was buried under mountains of snow.
What a winter!
I had snowshoes and made good money delivering medicine to people who could get out to get it.
