The winter of 76-77 brought the only true blizzard of my lifetime. We had 3 feet of snow on level ground and didn't go to school for more than a week.

I remember that storm. We lived quite aways out with no close neighbors. Friends did visit after several days on a snow machine to make sure we didn't need anything.

When they finally got to our road they started with a snowplow, gave us and brought in a dozer, gave up again and cleared 1/4 mile of road one scope at a time with a front end loader.

Above freezing in Anchorage and above zero in Fairbanks. Might be a mild winter after all.
