WOW!!! Just looking at this is bringing back so many memories of that time!!! SO nostalgic in a way!!! I remember coming to Charlotte to visit my aunt off of Rozella Ferry back at this very time when this snow storm came thru!!
Were you driving with one hand and operating the camera with the other? That's the only way I can think of you getting this view from the driver's seat. And what kind of camera did you use that the image is so clear? It doesn't seem that grainy at all like a camcorder would.
@RGAF1987 This was a Canon VM-E1 which you can google to see it! These rested on your shoulder and used compact 8mm videotapes, a breakthrough in camcorders for the time!
i remember as a young adult-before i married-i would sometimes get a temp job working in Belk's department store; in the upstairs clothing department removing tickets from clothing -to supplement my other job...
i was born here in 1955; even though i moved away many years ago; my children were born here; but i left when they were very young; and they have no memories of their birthplace...and i raised them in california; and even though they all are adults now; they mentioned coming to visit their birthplace of one these days...oh; i want to mention; my daughter was born a month and a half after this snowstorm....
