I was 19 and arrived at Great Lakes to start my 9
Weeks of boot camp. Do you remember where u were ?

Indeed..........a senior in high school.....many memories of that..

I was 2 years 8 months old.

coming home from school. Snow was up to my chest and we made deep snow tunnels all over the neighborhood.

Gross! Did I just say that?! Wow.

Had a side parking lot to the apartment that streets and san used to dump some of the snow off Ogden. My neighbor and I jumped off the first floor balcony on to it lol.  In retrospect, we probably could have fallen through a weak spot and suffocated, but when your are a kid(and know shit about danger), you are invincible.

I wasn't around for the one in '67, but I remember the blizzard of 79.   You could walk on top of the snow over into the neighbor's yard without running into their 4 foot fence.

My dad was 5 years old at the time, so I don't think he even had much of anything in his nut sack.  

I lived in the far south suburbs and there was road construction in our area that was halted during and after the storm. I remember the police chief had a friend of my father hotwire a bulldozer to clean some of the streets. I was like PP though, we were digging tunnels and making snow forts in the 7-8 foot snowdrifts.

I was living on the South Side of Chicago and a sophomore in high school. The school was closed so like an idiot I went down to Old Town. I made a few bucks pushing cars out of their parking spots that I was able to buy a Monkees album. It took me FOREVER to get back home (people stacked like sardines in the buses). It was a day to remember.

Couldn't get out of the parking lot, 6 foot snow drifts blocking the exits, car kept getting stuck going up ramps and it took 3-1/2 hours to get home around midnight. Next morning, I'm stuck on a Chicago side street unable to get into the ruts. The snow piles on the parkways were 9 feet tall, it was damn near impossible to toss the snow that high, lol.

Our tunnels were 3 houses long, fun winter, lots of days off school too, even more fun

We walked in tire ruts in the middle of the street, all of us would have sunken into the snow and been unable to get out. Fun times!

Did you take the last train to Clarksville to get home?
