Here Comes NEMO!

I remember the Blizzard of 78. My brother built a massive snow fort. It was very cool. We had to shovel a path for the dog too.

Apparently, there was a big snow storm on the day my mom was due to have me. I was two weeks late and she was thankful. One of my best friends was born during that storm and they sent a tank from the tank arsenal in my home town to take her mom to the hospital. Can you imagine? In labor and going to the hospital in a tank because that was the only vehicle that could get through?

Our family station wagon (anyone remember those?!) couldn't get through after the '78 storm because I backed it into a massive snowbank at the side-end of our driveway. Thankfully only event missed was cheerdancing at a school basketball game.
