Author    Post   rusty F L I N T O I D What winter was it where the snow was so deep, all the cars had to get the orange 76 balls to put on their antennas so that they could be seen behind the snow drifts? I want to say it was JUST before I was born in 67, but I could be wrong. I DO remember the one winter in 83 I think when we had NO snow. Next week's NOT gonna be fun...

Buick parking lot at Industrial & carton tp home at Grand Traverse & Simcoe. Didn't stop for any lights or signs all the way home, didn't get stuck once. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

I can't imagine getting that much snow so fast. Jeff Thu Jan 22, 2009 9:03 am  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D It was really something. I remember someone having a radio on at work & all you heard every hour was: "Another 4 inches". _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.
