76-77. Pack from Thanksgiving onward, maybe a few brief gaps. The thing is, we never had a lot of snow on the ground, but it was insanely cold that winter. I can remember walking to my junior high school by crossing the ice on the mighty Saugatuck. The Saugatuck in Westport is a tidal estuary, so normally it's a suicidal crossing. But in 76-77 you could have driven a car across. I believe Chesapeake Bay froze solid that year.
