The Ohio National Guard was moving stuck semi trucks off the road with their tanks. Everyone and anyone who had a snowmobile was out rescuing stranded motorists who were buried in their cars. We had the longest Christmas break that year as the storm hit just when we were to return back to school.

The door was frozen shut, so I had to wait for people to come dig me out. Only had a vending machine candy bar & had to make it last until help arrived. Hope I'm never that hungry again.
Still wasn't as bad as my Granny's stories about the great blizzard of 1888 though.

In Northern NJ, where I lived, we got 40+ inches in about a week. Snow had drifted to the windows on the second floor of our house. We dug a tunnel out the front door. That was the only way out, aside from crawling out our bedroom windows on the second floor. It took 2 weeks to get off the hill we lived on

So seeing snow outside is very rare here

It pushed duck migration further south than normal.
