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!

It did not snow for two years in Blizzard of 1978, it one big slump that crippled New England for two weeks.

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

I really liked todayâs strip. That last frame is well done, down to the small smile. Glad I wasnât in Maine back in 77-78, though. Right now is enough for me.

Donât you people remember the 1950âs when several hurricanes hit New England? I think it was â53 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 weekâŠ.the Ohio river froze to where you could drive across it.
momazilla almost 14 years ago
Jan, â78 we had âthundersnowâ in Cleveland, Thatâs when I movd to Houston. No matter how âbadâ the weather is here you donât 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 Dadâs 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.

Iâm puzzled!
Whatever happened to the old (American) saying about âa snow jobâ which I think meant pretty much what was not said in that last frameâŠ
I guessâŠ

Paulie is too smart to go into a snow tunnel.
bmonk almost 14 years ago
Besides snow tunnels, we made plenty of snowmen, and snowcats, snow snakes, snowpigs⊠as well as at least one igloo per winter.
