The weatherman says that we will be getting at least 18". They are talking about it being worse than the blizzard of '67. That was really bad and shut down the city for nearly a week. I was a kid, but...the pictures that M&D have have the snowup to the top of the fence. I was sitting on the top bar of the swingset and my feet were on the snow....
One of my college roommates _younger than me_ got caught in that '67 snow and had to spend the night at her highschool. Not as much fun as she expected it to be. She had great stories to tell of people helping each other and making the best of the situation. Her father was trying to drive home and got as far as a farmhouse out in the country which was also a day-care center. He helped with the babies and toddlers for 2 days. The owner was grateful for his help and he was grateful to leave!
