Sitting here in warm SoCal, I watch with interest the impending snowstorms in the midwest. News reports say that Chicago is going to get the worst storm it's had since January 1967. I remember that snowstorm well. I recall that we had 2-3 days off from school and that when the snowplows came through the alleyway, they piled the snow up so high that we really had mountains that we could climb up and also dig a little cave into.The LA Times has some photos from that snowstorm here.

Oh, how well we remember that snow. I had to walk home from work and almost didn't make it because of my asthma. However, I had warm clothing. Remember Lois making doughnuts and we played games? The air was very clean with no moving traffic.
I don't remember the donuts and games, but I can certainly picture it!
I remember that snow also. We were living in Evanston at the time. Our son was four years old and the snow was almost as high as he was. We had neighbors who had to have their evening martini and ran out of vodka so they used their kid's sled to walk to Howard Street (Evanston was dry at the time)to get their vodka.
