    The entire planet turned into a giant snowball and he had to have a team of dogs pull the boat.

    The winter of 77 was extremely cold, the Great South Bay froze so thick, that fishermen drove their trucks out on the ice! In 78 we had 2 blizzards that were well over a foot each. However, in between the two winters, there was a summer!

    No matter how long ago that year was, Eddie is still the King of the Shovelers.

    Hey, wasn’t that the time all the weather scientists were warning that we were going into global cooling? Al Gore was just a boy then.

    Hey, how’d his boat get above the snow? And seriously, Eddie, lobstering through the ice? I’m begining to question Cap’t Eddie’s veracity!

    I really liked today’s strip. That last frame is well done, down to the small smile. Glad I wasn’t in Maine back in 77-78, though. Right now is enough for me.

    Don’t you people remember the 1950’s when several hurricanes hit New England? I think it was ‘53 when the eye of one passed over Chatham on Cape Cod.

    It seems I do remember the year when it snowed for two years.

    That was when I was working 10 hours a day, ten days a week.

    jan 78 snowed 22 inches and the daytime high was still below zero for a week….the Ohio river froze to where you could drive across it.

    Jan, ‘78 we had “thundersnow” in Cleveland, That’s when I movd to Houston. No matter how “bad” the weather is here you don’t have to shovel it. Bail it out yes, but not shovel.

    Northern Rhode Island was hit with 50 inches in Feb 1978 on top of the 20 inches that was lying around from a storm 2 weeks earlier. That must be the year Eddie remembered.

    Liked my Dad’s story about leaving the house through the 2nd-story windows to hike to the store.

    The kids would tunnel from the front door all over the yard with a continuous snow-cave - which (of course) disappeared, come Spring.

    I’m puzzled!

    Whatever happened to the old (American) saying about “a snow job” which I think meant pretty much what was not said in that last frame…

    I guess…

    Besides snow tunnels, we made plenty of snowmen, and snowcats, snow snakes, snowpigs… as well as at least one igloo per winter.

    I remember a political cartoon about the blizzard of ‘78…it showed an airplane in the box…looking at the plane from above right…the caption read ‘…and the search for Buffalo continues…’…lol
