I swear when I was a kid, we went on with life and it did snow at least 4 or 5 times a winter. I sound like my old man, but it’s the truth

To: don-o
Many years ago I was stationed on a small Marine Detachment at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.

One day it snowed about 1-1/2”. They shut the entire base down. No traffic in or out. They also shut the whole town done. I couldn’t believe it. But then I learned that they had absolutely NO snow removal equipment! Zero, zip, nada!

(We had some Texans in our Company that had never walked on snow before. We laughed our butts off until it got to the point that we realized we’d better help them off the grinder because they were starting to physically injure themselves.)
