Brings back memories of the "Storm of the Century," 1978.

10 inches of snow, 50mph winds. We were in school and my brother, not being one to indulge in mainstream activities, didn't listen to the radio or TV so rode his bike to class. To find it closed. He wrapped electric cord around his tires to make snow tires.
I was about to take midterm exams when I heard of the cancellation. So I packed up my stuff and trudged over to my then girlfriend's house. We have been married for almost 46 years.

A few days later, the roads were still impassable, but the bars were open! Party on!
