Went as expected.

9. That storm was hard to forget.

The snowdrifts were 10-12 feet high over the roads. They would clear the roads and the wind rebuilt the drifts in a couple of hours. If you were out driving you could easily get trapped between drifts.

So sad that many farms are gone and replaced by developments. Being a country gal, I loved the fields and woods. I used to go horseback riding in a area that is now solidy developed, but the area where I grew up as a child is next to the Wharton State Forest and that area is still mostly undeveloped. I like to take "drives" down the old roads and highways with Google Earth street view and see how the old stomping grounds have changed - some areas have massively changed, others not much at all.

P.S. My grandfather and father told stories about when they were young men around the turn of the 20th century. It was much colder then. The Delaware River usually froze solid so that you could walk across the river to PA. Snow was more frequent and deeper. Global warming in action, through family generations.
