Yes, I remember the blizzard of '77 too. As a kid, we loved it, with snow drifts that reached the roof of one-story houses. Kids could - and did - sled off the roofs!
My parents did not enjoy it, though. Dad worked for the railroad and was stuck there for several days. They told the workers they could sleep in one of the railroad cars, but Dad was upset that they couldn't turn the lights out, 'cause the women didn't want the lights out with men around.
