to day is the 31st anniversary of the day after the blizzard of 78

For those of you children, it was 100 times worse than today.

and it produced my sister later that year.... although that hasn't turned out to be such a bad thing.

my folks had a side walkout basement... my brother and I tunneled through the snow it was a blast lol

good times....

Thats why it is a bittersweet memory. One of the best times I've ever had. Other than for riding over Mom's house... Still remember that one.

It's taken me two hours just to plow out my driveway and it's still coming down.

Plow my driveway.
That is why my truck is so tall.

AHAAHAHAHAHA

It's only taken 3 HOURS to reach a supervisor so that my GF could call in snowbound. It's right about to the back bumper on her car.

Here in Seymour we are sitting in about 10 to 11 inches of snow with more coming down. The county roads are still pretty bad according to my wife. I’m getting ready to go fire up the ATV and have some fun before plowing the driveway. We are under a level 2 snow emergency, meaning that we are only supposed to be going to and from work or if there is an emergency.

Back then we had to ride the bus through ten feet of snow, uphill (both ways) barefooted.

You got to ride the bus?!? Wuss!!!!

Yes, and our bus had one heater on it.

Around 10, my apartment building at USI lost power as well as the buildings attatched to the feed, then the others followed suite... I walked to campus and found a building that was open so I could tap into the power and internet...

All of IU's closed today, so I don't have to go anywhere

 

[Pami]

Ok, well just so you know, the Keystone Fashion Mall is open.

Please come visit me... there's nobody else in the mall!!! /sniffle

I really can't believe they didn't delay the opening.

We are snowed in with 13 inches. I am getting ready to walk the woods with my camera. Have been waiting for this and love it. Sorry.....

 

[right winger]

I live in Sullivan County. The County Sheriff and Commissioners declared a snow emergency. We have between 12-14 inches here in Hymera.

Here in Bloomington I'm guessing there's about 8 inches of snow(Update: revised to at least 12 inches). All schools are closed. My cul-de-sac has had zero plowing, salting, or sanding. I can see main streets 1/4 to 1/2 mile away that are about 80% clear. No snow currently coming down. My neighbor's out in the street with his riding lawn mower with a plow attachment trying to move snow around, but even with chains on his tires he's mostly just spinning his wheels. Neighborhood kids are loving the snow -- I'm cooped up here at home trying to get some work done...not working out so well!...

Awesomeness Factor 12

yeah okay when I left for work this morning it was tricky getting out of the neighborhood, but made easier by random snow plow pickup truck driver guy.

I wasn't prepared for the drifted over driveway being buried under roughly 1.5-2 feet of snow.

However! My next door neighbor who recently bought a small to medium sized snow blower WAS

I'm manuevering the "tactical Honda Civic" down my street and see three people meandering around where my driveway should be. Its my step son and daughter and the neighbors wife out shoveling and using the snow blower cutting me a path to the garage.

All I can say is neighbors like these are PRICELESS!!!!

I may have to reconsider using the wifes gun money for a snow blower. Or buy one over the summer months.
