I remember that storm well. I was a police chief in Oklahoma at the time. The
only thing we had moving on the streets was a national guard duece and a half
and a road department grader. A lady had a baby in the cab of that grader
because they couldn't get up the hill to the hospital. When the snows started
to melt a few days later, a nearby town found several cars that had been buried
out on a perimeter road. Their occupants had all perished.

Bruce,
My wife, Joanie, was stuck in a bowling alley for two days during this storm.
This was near Boston. She made the decision to go somewhere else after that
ordeal. Came to CA for a training session in Sep. 78 and never left - except
to visit. A lot of research into the current weather precedes each visit to
her family.
