As a kid, I shoveled snow that was almost as tall as me during the Blizzard of ‘78 in Mass. Made some money but should have charged way more. I was 13 and the smallest kid in my class.

We had a flat roofed carport made of old rough sawn oak and it was my job to shovel that off when it got to 6-8 inches thick because my dad was worried it would collapse with too much snow and he was also worried about it collapsing with him on it. I would have healed but if he fell through, our sole source of income would have been gone and he had good health insurance on me at the time. No braina.(brainer) Got 3 foot of snow in a couple of days so I shoveled that roof quite a few times.

I was on FB on 2015 and remember the pics that old friends posted which were similar to ‘78.

I was working at a dairy farm when the Blizzard of 78 hit, leaving 3k cars and trucks on Rt. 128 and over 30” of snow on the ground and martial law in effect. The people cheered when the milk truck showed up, as milk, bread and eggs went fast. Thank God for it all.

As was right. Today in this city I rarely see the young shoveling snow, versus the parents and adults.

I had no camera aside from web cams, and took the below with one, carrying a laptop:

Thank God. Looking forward for more if God wills.
