Before WWF - "Super Fly, Jimmy Snooker" came along....I was perfecting his jump off the top ropes from the top rail of the porch in my yard diving into the great white abyss - and that wasn't even the best part....the best part was finding my way back to the porch steps in snow over my head

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

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.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
