I was wondering where on the Hall Road you lived during this time and who your landlord was. I was raised on that road, one mile from the City Line and living there at the time of the storm. Was 7 years old, but vividly remember sitting in our dining room, looking out the window at the telephone pole which was only about 20 feet from the house and not seeing it for 3 days straight! Live in Orlando now, and can't say I miss that weather at all, though it was fun as a kid!

I was renting an uppstairs apartment at the Bond residence just north of the city line road. They had a cupola from which you could look over city of Oswego.

Hello is This the same Paul that was a teacher at Central Square--I remember your name but don't remember what you taught or anything--I graduated the square in 68--had 7 younger brothers and was from West Monroe near the edge of Constantia--By the way good pictures.

I know exactly where the Bond place is...always wondered what the view was like from up there! Thanks for responding. Keep warm and enjoy the snow!

My mom was the nurse/manager of the newborn nursery of the Oswego Hospital when this happened, I remember her telling about how they brought the patients in labour in on snowmobiles! We lived across the street from the hospital, and I remember she was working 12-16 hour shifts because so many of the nurses couldn't get in--my aunt lived with us, she was the night supervising nurse, and she worked very long hours too. Great video!
