----I was in Florida on business in 1979 when that storm hit. My wife will never let me forget that she was home in Hinsdale. I couldnt get back for an extra 4 days,,,,Damn! When I got let off all I saw was a 12 inch wide slice in about 4 feet of snow (drift) from the street to my front door!!!! Terry Carney had left a 65 Vette he bought in my backyard several weeks before and hadnt retrieved it yet. When I looked in the back yard all I could see was a lump........Bill S

Two weeks ago I was in Chicago for the week to move my mom out of the house she's been in for 48 years. I grew up in that house. While looking through old pictures, I came across pictures of both the 1967 and 1979 storms. I couldn't wait to get back to Austin where I drove my '65 Corvette to work today.....

Sorry cold weather guys........

No your not! We got about 14&quot; yesterday/last night, on top of the 6&quot; we already had. I'm tired of shoveling.....

Finally blew a shear pin on the blower this AM. 9 years with this machine,original everything incl air in the tires. I'm done with this winter (and probably every one after it)
