@LadyJ The snow came in on Christmas Eve. Back then public schools still had classes on Christmas Eve. My sister was in first grade and the school buses were getting stuck coming to the school building so the school called all the parents and told them they’d have to get alternative transportation. We had a couple in town that were good friends and the man walked through the snow to get my sister and carried her back to their home. Then he waded to the downtown part a few blocks away and bought her gifts since she had none at their house. She was there for almost a week before the roads got cleared off.

@cherokeepatti wow!!..we never seem to get snow like that here..i would love to see heavy snowfall at christmas time..and if it happened christmas eve well that would be magical

@LadyJ we used to get some heavy snows in central Oklahoma that lasted a while but it’s been 12 years since we had a blizzard and it was on Christmas Eve. They warned people several days before to get their shopping done, stock up on food & water, and plan on staying home but a lot of people waited till they got paid to shop. One man got stuck in his truck by the highway and the snow blew & piled up to the top. Nobody checked the truck for awhile and then they found him frozen to death

@AbbeyRhode We’d get some deep snows and it would stay on the ground long enough to enjoy it. This isn’t my photo but it brought back those memories.

@cherokeepatti I'm glad you have such lovely memories.

@smiler2012 🤔 sooo it could just be a perspective thing . The Bard gets that a lot lol

@smiler2012 I didn’t mind till the school bus slipped off the road into the ditch

@SW-User yeah they killed it and ate it and then gave thanks

@NightsWatch just another piece of meat
