@Albanynyer84 I lived in Levittown also when this storm happened,I was in 6th grade at Emerson Elementary school,I remember it most because my class was supposed to go on a field trip to a TV studio in NY to see a cooking show(my teacher was a chef).We got dismissed from school at 10am(it was a Friday)so with the storm and the trains talking about striking,it was a big ?.Well the trip got cancelled,I was so MAD,The teacher said we would go in the spring,but we NEVER did,June came quick
I was working at the nursing home where my mother's at today, and living in Lansdowne at the time. I was out sick from work with a cold. I had also planned to go out that day and treat myself. That Sunday, I walked to and from work in two feet of snow.
Six months later, I went out to sunny Los Angeles.
I was in 6th grade when this storm happened,living in Bucks County PA,my class was supposed to go on a field trip the Monday after this storm(hit on a Friday)well the trip got cancelled,we NEVER went on it
I remember this one very well. I was a 5th grader at Loesche elementary in NE Philly and they let us out early on that day. Also, back then, neighbors actually used to help one another shovel snow. Today, everyone has a snow blower and only does their own property.
@rainallday I was 7 when the 78 blizzard happened,I woke up that morning and looked out the window of our apartment,and all the cars were buried up to the top of the side windows,I asked my mom if school was closed and she answered"school is closed,work is closed,the store is closed,everything is closed"Great memories
The teletype sound used by KYW has sounded to me like a Model 14TP or 14ROTR, piped through a phone line. They've used this homemade SFX for decades. (By contrast, New York's 1010 WINS for the last two decades has used a teletype recording from a SFX library.) To hear what the original machines sound like:
watch?v=0LhCmg20Dqs (14TP)
watch?v=XtOJRHrHkz (14ROTR)
Certainly has a different sound from either the Model 15 or 28.
I was 7 years old, lived outside of Philadelphia in Levittown, Bucks County...I remember it quite well!

It was a fun storm to drive in...Cars were off the road abandoned all over...Cars completely covered over with snow.
Blizzard of 78 was worse though...
