[LMB] OT: Blizzards

[Sherry German]

The blizzard of '71 in the Oklahoma panhandle is the one I remember.  There were drifts in places 80 feet high.  I drove home just as it started.  I recall walking over the fence on top of the snow two weeks later.  Our neighbors lost over 300 head of cows.  Our horse chased our herd to the hilltop so we only lost four.  We were totally snowed in until the roads were cleared two weeks later.  The National Guard helicopter got my aunt to the hospital and dropped hay for the cows.  I have driven in blizzards twice since but this one was very much the worst one I have ever seen.
Sherry, glad that at least there is no snow in Houston
