I was 11 years old, which made the snow that much deeper. I doubt we could get a storm big enough to close school for two weeks these days. I do remember the National Guard jeeps/trucks that came to shovel out the town. What I remember most was the amazing height of the drifts, opening my front door to a Wall of White and the poor dog was just hopeless tryiing to move through it. Has some of the highest totals here on the North Shore and the heftiest winds as well. Thinking about it now, I am glad I was eleven when it happened...  |

Raven, I remember that storm. I think it was 1957, I hadn't started school yet. My family drove from Southern Ohio to North Truro in it. I can remember being hypnotized by snowflakes coming at the windshield for hours on end. We finally got there and the next day Dad's 54 Chevy was buried, all that showed was the ball on the antenna. The kid across the street was digging tunnels but my folks wouldn't let me out. I was POed.

I was living in Pawtucket. I measured a level 44" in the back yard. There were drifts as high as my grandmother's garage next door.
The storm also created one of those quintessential Row Dylun legends--Joe Garrahy's red plaid shirt, which now sits in some kind of Rhody hall of fame  |
