February '79 was very memorable to me for several reasons: one it's the first big storm that I remember where the forecast the night before was calling for nothing and we received over 2 feet; about 11 years old looked out the window that am from my second story window screaming and waking my parents and two younger brothers up because I thought the car had been stolen ( it was buried under a snow drift!!!); I had the whole week off from school, stuff like that does not happen anymore.
