As you recall, it rained first. The ice was bonded to the roads for months. Washington Ave, by the Honey Bee gas station was like driving on a wash board.
That was one great storm. The blizzard we had last April, well, it just sucked.
Yeah and because everybody was driving on the initial slush, packing it down and then it got really cold.
I remember because deer season opened the following weekend and we drove all the way to Bemidji and back to the Cities on washboard highways.
Haha, they didn’t know whether to include 76-77, in which case they’d have to say we were entering a period of global cooling, or not include it and call it global warming.
True, that.

I missed it. We were tucked into Newport Rhode Island and deployed after The Perfect Storm had passed and picked up the pieces between Newport and Bermuda for quite a few days. There were a lot of battered up sail boaters out there... Rolled over and stripped of all rigging and they all swore they would never sail again.
LMAO.
Same in northern Iowa then. Worst was a week of zero degree weather that followed. Some towns were without power for a week!
With no power how do you stay warm?
We got snow in Miami Florida on January 19, 1977
Snot passed in 2008.
Never missed them at the Renaissance Festival.
Last couple of years, the massive rains shoot south of the Twin Cities and N. Iowa gets hammered.
Feel bad for you folks.
We have fireplaces that burn wood and we also ice fish.
We have portable propane heaters like you would not believe.
Saved me last January during the coldest week of the month when my furnace took a dump.
There’s a new Snot. ‘Snot as good as the original, but still much better than nothing.
Thanks for the heads up!
We complain below *60. One year we had iguanas falling out of the trees.
It does snow in Northern florida, down south, never.
We have kerosine heaters we use maybe once every 5 years and that’s just to get some humidity in the air.
We have 2 seasons, hot and really HOT
Anything under *80 is considered nice.
We had a high of *81 and a low of *66 today.
We can turn off the air conditioners now.
That pic reminds me of my wedding day——and I am NOT kidding.

....We STILL haven’t lost the leaves on the trees around here. They haven’t changed color either”.....
Ours just started this past week.....I haven’t seen this come so late either. With all the rain this year everything was remarkably lush and thick...so I wondered if that’s why they’re not turning as usual...so far just beige and brown colors here.
I remember that. Saw a flurry between classes in high school.
