We moved out of Chicago in August of 1979, the same year of the blizzard (that helped push us out). When we talk about it nowadays, and especially with friends (in sunny So. California), my mom insists there was snow on the ground until early June, LOL

It probably was. My very pregnant wife would waddle down to the end of our driveway to check for cars when I would back the Opel out. The snow piles on either side of the driveway reached up to the eaves on the garage.

I just mounted my snow plow on my dump truck. This is not a good sign for riding. Hopefully this year won't be like 2013, where in 24 hours we got 38 inches of snow!! For my metric friends, that is a meter.
Once the ground is white, no more bike for me. I have a Place in Dalton, NH, so now I'm starting to look for a sled. |
