Have you ever been in a blizzard?

This was Toledo, 1978  blizzard. I was in North Chicago, where it was worse.

    Anyone who lives in probably 35 of the 50 states has. It’s really not a big accomplishment.

    I've been in snow storms but never a blizzard.

    Yes.  One of my nieces graduated from college in Virginia and driving back to PA from there, we hit white-out conditions.  My brother-in-law refused to pull into a motel and wait until the storm passed.  We white-knuckled it all the way back to PA.  Took us five hours.  The amazing part was that the semis were passing us doing 50 mph like it was nothing.

    Never a blizzard only an ice storm and snow storms.  It looks bad, the Donner Pass kind of awful.  This post was edited by Honey Dew at December 11, 2021 8:04 PM MST

    Yes, at least twice.  Of course, in each case I had wandered away from my warm safe home and found myself in very high wind and  I couldn't see beyond my nose.

    Having lived on the Canadian prairies we did get some good blizzards. Latest time of year we ever got a heavy duty blizzard was April 1979.

  • I've been in a blizzard at least once every year.  Sometimes the airport closes after my flight lands so I must stay in a hotel near the airport until the snow ends and the airport opens.

     I’m sorry, but that kind of thing really isn’t any of my business.

    Keep your head up and watch for that tsunami heading in for your beautiful sunny beach.

    No I have not. Dairy Queen doesn't make cups big enough for me to fit in.
