Your story brings back memories for me too. I remember that year Christmas was on a Sunday...which just so happened to be my day off. But I did work Christmas Eve afternoon as the bad weather was all starting and I was flooded with calls from churches cancelling their Christmas Eve services. The next day I made it over to my Dad's and helped him put tire chains (does anyone use tire chains anymore?) on the 'ol Pinto wagon so he and my mom could make it over to my aunt's for the Christmas gathering. Nowadays with automation...hardly anyone in radio works Christmas anymore...so a blizzard would have no more impact...except on the poor PD that had to go in to fix the computer when it crashes! Happy New Year!! Jojo…

We had just moved from Maryland to Edinboro that summer, and I was coming home from college for winter break. I didn't much like the idea of us moving up north, and once the steady zero degree temperature and constant snow started, I though we were absolutely crazy for moving here. I remember that Christmas.
