Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The white death. My father was in the national guard at the time, and he's shared stories of going out on snowmobiles to help people out. Incredible stuff, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I was 10 and remember having maybe a 12 foot snowbank to slide down (compliments of a front loader that was clearing streets. He helped us finish off the curtain). Days later the sidewalk plows came and made the hill a bit more entertaining with a sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 That's pretty boring coverage. Where are the selfies and social media posts? I think that those would be more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the front of our house was covered by a snow drift that was as high as the roof top. couldn't get out the front door but was able to get out the back door. made some good spending money shoveling walks and driveways. I also had a tee shirt that read "I survived the blizzard of '77" Edited January 28, 2019 by DaBillsFanSince1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants more details, read the book "No Downlink." As for the Blizzard of '77, who here owns the board game?! My parents still have it.

WhoTom Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 We had a solid week off from school. The snow in our backyard was so high, we built snow forts by tunneling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I lived on a corner growing up and we had a big, long, thick hedge row going from the house along the sidewalk back to the garage. This was maybe 30 feet long and like 6 feet high. It formed a wall of bushes that was pretty solid. After the blizzard, the entire hedgerow just disappeared under a snow drift, such that you would not have known it was there. I was 6 at the time but have always remembered seeing that, then of course going outside for some epic snow fort making and playing in that stuff. We had a big roof over a large front porch. I was climbing up onto the roof and then jumping off into the front yard....which was not very scary as the snow on the front yard was so deep. I would get stuck in the stuff though, and it was hard to get out for the next jump. I remember all this stuff very clearly, 42 years later! I'm getting old!

Augie Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I’m told it was 5 years ago today Atlanta was embarrassed by several snowflakes. Took some people 3 days to get home from work. Kids slept on school busses. But it was a legit dusting, so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember her telling us about it when she was marketing it back in the day We played copies of it in class. I think she also marketed one for the November storm about a decade ago Edited January 29, 2019 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Gonna be another cold blast and some snow in the coming days. Funny... I almost 9 years old in 1977... But I don't really remember storm, I remember the 1976 Ice Storm more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierlifer Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Blizzard of ‘77 was an underrated Perry’s flavor that seems to have gone AWOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
