The day after Christmas of 2012, a blizzard brought a foot of snow, high winds and near zero visibility! Mommy working in the medical field and Daddy in the police department meant no time off for them......but I was off for Christmas Break and you are with me! I am guessing Mommy will come here after work and spend the night, since it will not be safe to travel home. Thankfully I just live down the road from where she works. Daddy on the other hand, will be out all night in this weather...Yikes!
I remember two other times we had a blizzard. The first one of the blizzard of 1978. It was the first time that the city schools closed for snow. I was in middle school at the time and loved every minute of it! We were snowed in for a week! There was soooo much snow that the drifts covered our front door! No kidding! I found a picture on the web from this storm. You can see people standing on a roof of a single story building.
The second blizzard happened in 1983. Our town was closed down for several days. We had soooo much snow that the snow plows made really high piles on each side of the roads and it looked like we were driving through snow tunnels! Here's a picture I found off the web. :-) Gotta love technology!
We've had several other snow storms over the years with blizzard like conditions, but these are the two times I remember the storm being labeled a blizzard! Now you can say that a blizzard occurred during your lifetime when you were just 2.75 years old! :-)
Thank goodness this snow storm hit after Christmas and not yesterday! (At least in our neck of the woods!). We are all safe and sound.....and warm!
