I lived in Medford, MA back then. Seven straight days of no school, followed soon after by the Feburary vacation.

Making those days up in June was a b****.

I lived in Medford, MA back then.

Hey -- I lived in Medford MA as well -- it was wild. Had special permission to travel because I was on emergency duty at Mass General Hospital -- so I was permitted to drive into Boston on the otherwise empty roads, snow piled 5 ft on either side.

I lived in Newport, RI in 1978. Dad was at War College. We were in school until the 4th of July, all of us bumped out of our quarters and huddled in rooms at the base until school was out ... another reason I homeschool!

The blizzard was fun, snow up to our upstairs windows. Dad was stuck at the college, rest of us spent 3 days in the kitchen with the oven on for heat, playing Monopoly. Finally an entrepreneurial soul tapped on the upstairs window and said, "How much will you pay me to dig out your front door?"
