Wow! That brings back memories. Lol.
That's what was responsible for the quail and grouse populations?

I had a lot of fun in all that snow!



I no longer want to play in snow....

Yes & somewhat no. The cold certainly decimated the populations, but the loss of habatit throws its hand in too. I was a junior in HS. Graduated in '78. Younger people 40 & under have no idea what a sustained cold spell is. Welcome TOO the club....lol

I was 7. We lived at the end of the street so I can remember the front end loaders making mountains of snow in front of our house.

I played on those snow mountains for weeks digging tunnels, making slides, etc.

Oh, the joys of childhood.

I had a Deicing/Snowplow route for the City of Dayton and was 28 at the time. We got called in on Wednesday evening, it was raining with temps in the 50-60's. It was a nightmare! Little heat in the truck, wind blowing the snow through the door jams and freezing on the inside of the opposite window. Loads freezing up in the beds of the trucks. Drifts as high as the cabs of the trucks. Could only tell if there was a car buried in the snow by its antenna sticking out of the top. Couldn't keep up with the blowing snow and nowhere to push it. No place was open to eat or get a cup of coffee. Finally got home Sunday night for a brief rest, that is after I had to shovel my way into my driveway....some damn snowplow driver plowed it in:tantrum:

Lived in east central Illinois for a couple of years and the snow would get plowed then front end loaders would pick it up and dump beds would haul away too a designated location.... Then start all over again.....
