I remember it well. The snow blew over the high school and they needed bulldozers to find the doors, school was closed for a month. Most school around us had to delay graduation until the end of July to make up the time.

I remember they didn't have enough space for towed cars that they actually stacked the cars on top of each other, some people never found their cars, and the ban on driving where there had to be 3or 4 people to a car, lots of people were caught driving with mannequins. I had a baby on the 26th and came home from the hospital the morning of the 28th, The snow hit that afternoon, I was terrified and alone with baby for 10 days. I will never forget the blizzard of "77"

@r26y871 you kinda had to be there,it was such a mixed bag of weather leading up to & during.The snow eventually stopped & it was sunny(like nothing happened) until you ventured out into the devastation.I haven't walked over buried cars,or seen homes drifted over,since.It was fun,the tallying of death & destruction wasn't immediately available,your not "thinking about" what you don't know yet.

@RedFileProductions actually, it didn't snow all that much during the '77 blizzard. Most of the snow was blown in off Lake Erie. I was 12 years old. I was out shoveling snow for the neighbors and didn't even realize it WAS a blizzard.

Great song and video!!!

Wow! I bet a lot of roofs caved in. And don't know how any homeless animals would have survived. It is terrible when things like this happen, and it makes me cringe when people talk about it being fun, because they are not thinking about those who are suffering because of it.

If your home was buried in snow, it wasn't worth shoveling because of the high winds. The snow actually created a barrier against the very high winds and insulated the homes from the cold.  It was unreal.
