Wow...Hard to believe that it has been 30 years ago today that the first flakes of the big storm started and didn't stop for around 35 hours. I remember that times were bleak for alot of people back then. The interest rate was around 19 % and unemployment was high. Nobody I knew was buying new cars and nobody was building houses. There was so many people loafing that the government invented a program called CETA. We were all out in the woods trimming trees for our "welfare check". After the Blizzard they called us into town to shovel snow.
Man...I was shoveling snow for over 2 weeks. We did all the sidewalks and fire hydrants and all kinds of walk-ways. Yup alot of memories of the big Blizzard of 78.
Anybody remember it?
