We barely made it over the Lazaretto Creek Bridge before it was closed for two days. Four days later, it was 70 degrees and we were all wearing shorts.<br />TerriTerri Patillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153168030454495052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-10140308067517467562014-01-31T09:41:52.568-05:002014-01-31T09:41:52.568-05:00I remember a lot of fun and interesting snow event...I remember a lot of fun and interesting snow events, I remember when we lived in Adak, Alaska(dad was in Navy) that we used to go sledding on flying saucer sleds and one time I was going up a hill when a wild dog chased me off, later it was discovered that snow as so deep it was called blue snow, that old dog saved my life. I remember when we lived in Adak that they would tie our sleds to the back of crash trucks and pull us around the runways, cause snow closed airport, I also remember many times I would later wake my boys at 4 or 5 am to go out and play in the snow in Altanta, so they could play in the snow and then by 9 am snow was gone. I remember as I was a lot older getting stranded at work because of the snow and hubby also getting stranded when he tried to come and get me. A lot of fun memories and now that I am older and retired, just glad I don't have to go anywhere in the snow...LOLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280206522876302385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-36776849959615025762014-01-31T04:26:12.637-05:002014-01-31T04:26:12.637-05:00I remember one year, our dad helped us build a HUM...I remember one year, our dad helped us build a HUMONGOUS snowman & someone from the paper came & took a photo to publish. I was thinking maybe it was the blizzard of '78, but it had to have been earlier than that because I would have been 13 in '78 & in my memory I am a much smaller child helping Dad make that snowman. The thing was gigantic. Dad had to get the ladder out to put the head on top, lol. Some time when I am back in my home town for a visit with my mom, I"ll visit the local library to view the newspaper archives & find the photo. <br /><br />I also remember a really bad ice storm one year. We're talking INCHES of ice. I can still see in my mind's eye exactly what our back yard looked like. I'm sure my dad probably took photos but I don't have any of them.<br /><br />Personally, I LOVE snow. The more, the better. But, I came into this world during a blizzard. Mom says that when they went to get in the car to go to the hospital, the car doors were frozen shut.GeorgiaBeckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827682435912608823noreply@blogger.com
