I stopped by the nursing home yesterday to check on my 96 year old mother and she was not having a good day. With the weather predicting snow, I asked her to tell me again about the 1936 blizzard. I love to have her tell stories of when she was growing up and you can see the wheels start turning and she goes to another time and place. It's amazing the little details that she remembers. She said yes, I remember that. She said the weather had been warm and they had been going barefoot. She said the morning of the storm they not worn coats to school. She said the temperature started dropping with high winds and snow. She said her dad met them at the bus stop with heavy coats for the mile and a half walk home. She said the next morning, her mom and dad had to dig a trail to the springhouse and there were drifts of over four feet.
