Great point Larry. Now that was a STORM!!! We had 52" of snow and 14' drifts. Town used a road grader with a 12' V-plow to open my road after 6 days. Guy down the road had a snow machine and made runs to town for everyone to get beer, cigs (we all smoked back then) and eggs. We finally got out after a week.
I was in Providence at 4:30 in the afternoon the day the storm started. I was working for IBM and assigned to Spiedel. Had a Ford F250 4WD and actually made it home but it took 7 hours to go 30 miles.The highways were clogged with stuck vehicles but I got in back of a plow who went up the MEDIAN STRIP on 95N. Got to 295 and headed up the off ramp as the on ramp was full of stuck cars.
Wild memories!!
