I was born in March 66 and Easter fell right after my birth. Mom said they were taking me to church to show me off and their was a blizzard on Easter weekend. She said she can remember her in her fancy Easter dress and gloves and a foot of snow as they drove the old car through, me just a tiny newborn all gussied up.Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031154927371849065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-41073985015616131902008-12-08T09:39:00.000-05:002008-12-08T09:39:00.000-05:00An excellent story and one that reminded me of one...An excellent story and one that reminded me of one or two I need to write about.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-65128077108301166332008-12-08T08:26:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:26:00.000-05:00Murf, yeah, I don't often see snow that's waist de...Murf, yeah, I don't often see snow that's waist deep!<BR/><BR/>Pat, I think it was Ohio!

I was three years old, living in Memphis. The snow was taller than I was. I remember walking down the shoveled sidewalk and reaching up to touch the top of the "snow wall".
