We had some really intense cold snaps back then. Hell, the Chesapeake froze over to the point that vehicles were out on the bay. That thought seems like a pipe dream today. I'm sure that @mitchnick has better memories/experiences of the bay freezing than I do. Edit: Here is an article I found from the winter of 1977: https://www.secretsoftheeasternshore.com/eastern-shore-deep-freeze/ January 1977 is ridiculous. It’s 6 degrees colder at Pittsburgh than any other month on record. Not 6 degrees below normal, 6 degrees below the 2nd coldest month on record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any all star game except for baseball, but they're money grabs so they're not going away. If the NBA wants to spice things up and generate some eyeballs, they should introduce prison rules for the All Star Game.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 A full one third of my yard still has solid snowpack. The 1/3 that gets the most shade of course. In fact, the kids were just playing in it and making snowballs and everything. Color me impressed it held. Curious to see how low we go tonight.

I have one area that never sees the sun that still has like four inches of pack. The sun-touched part is bare ground.

Edit: Here is an article I found from the winter of 1977: https://www.secretsoftheeasternshore.com/eastern-shore-deep-freeze/ In January of 77', I walked out on the frozen Chesapeake Bay near sunset about 100' at Sandy Point State Park, which is on the western shore at the base of the Bay Bridge. Pictures of the frozen bay from back then didn't do it justice because it looked flat. In reality, it was a bunch of large blocks of ice that had congealed into a solid mass. It wasn't easy walking out on it, even as a sprite 18 y/o because of the slippery surface and the tendency for your feet to slip into the crevices where the blocks of ice were joined. Crazy thing was I could have easily gone out a lot further without concern over falling through the ice because it was as solid as a rock. Glad I wasn't drinking at the time.
