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.

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