White out

OK I have strayed from the beaten path somewhat this week.
It will be back to sports later this week and next as tournaments begin heating up.
And I’m going to do so again today.
It’s the great Blizzard of ‘07. I’ll tell you that storm last night was pretty bad. But some people use no common sense.
If you take it slow and easy everything should be all right. If you take your Geo Priszm out on rural county roads at night in the middle of the blizzard, expect the worst.
I went to the store Monday night the bread and milk aisle was ravaged. It looked like the storm had already struck. I think the Findlay area had enough bread, eggs and milk to make enough French Toast to last them until May.
Actually sometimes I think these snowfall forecasts are trumped up by the milk, egg and bread companies to boost sagging sales. But yesterday’s storm was no conspiracy it was a good old fashion dumping. It was probably the biggest winter storm to hit the area in the last five years, it’s the biggest I can remember in that span.
It made me start thinking about the big one. The Blizzard of ‘78.
Some of you out there might not be old enough to remember the Blizzard of ‘78. I do I was 10. We lost power and spent a whole week home from school. The thing I remember most is my mom putting me and my two younger brothers all in the same king sized bed to stay warm at night.
Drifts were 6-8 feet tall it was something I will never forget.
Here’s a historical view of the Blizzard of 78 from a Kent State University historian.
There was also a documentary made on the Blizzard of 78 made by WBGU TV in Bowling Green. I always like to catch the show everytime its one. Here’s a link to the show.
What are your memories of the Blizzard of 1978?
Tomorrow, as promised earlier in the week, my top 10 list of prep sports websites.
