I was living in KY during the blizzard of '78. A "major storm" in KY is an inch, and we got 15 inches. We were having shortages of natural gas, so they cancelled school "until further notice" which ended up being a solid month. That was the only winter we had enough snow to build a snow fort. (Usually if you wanted to build a snowman you had to roll the ball all over the entire lawn to get enough snow for a mini-man.) We build a fort at my best friend's house and an igloo at our house. And a six foot tall snow woman. Dad shoveled half the block, because, well, they don't have a whole lotta snow plows in KY.
