The winter of 1973
It snowed A LOT, three weeks in a row!
It never warmed up enough to melt
To stay warm
you needed a pelt
The side walks were shoveled
snow thrown to the side.
By week three the system had moved on.
Out into the frozen tundra went we three.
Dad
Mom and 18 month old toddler
We walked gingerly
On the shoveled sidewalk.
Our daughter was dwarfed by
mounds of frozen snow on either side.
Her eyes sparkled
Her world turned magically white
above her head and to her left and right.
It was quite a sight!!
Side note: We lived in an apartment complex.
Maintenance shoveled the snow off all the side walks.
The front yards were were at least 2 1/2 feet deep with frozen
snow. Which made it impossible to play or build a snowman.
