Sunday, February 14 and we made sure we got the Parents out of their apartment one week after the 24 inch snowfall. The picture on the right was our backyard at 5 pm while we prepare to enjoy Potato Leek soup.
After a week of snow digging it is time to reminisce...and both Jen's mom and my Dad made mention of the Thanksgiving storm on Thanksgiving weekend, 1950. Shirley was living in Baldwin while the following picture was taken in the Hill District (12 years before the Civic Arena).
My father's recall was of not being able to travel to Columbus from Akron on Saturday for the annual Ohio State - Michigan game. While the Pitt-Penn State game was postponed that weekend of Thanksgiving 1950 the game went on in Blizzard-like conditions in Ohio.
For fans of the ultimate in bad weather football:
