There was a LOT of snow....

The day it hit worst was on a Friday, or maybe a Saturday. One of those two days for sure but I'm leaning hard on that Friday, as I recall trying to keep the driveway open for Dad with a tiny azz Ford 8N and a back blade. He worked Friday nights and Saturdays part time in a camera shop at the time, and I distinctly remember everyone worrying about him getting home that night.

The wind blew like 40 hells for sure, but I can still see those golf ball+ sized snow flakes that just filled that driveway as fast as I could clear it.......
