Blizzard of '78: A little off the wall
02/02/2003
"On Feb. 4, 1978, my house was painted and wallpapered inside. On Feb. 6, it was the Blizzard of 1978. We had no electricity, but I had a gas stove, so I put pans of water on the stove to keep us warm.
"The steam from the water loosened the wallpaper in our three rooms, and I had to have these rooms redone. What a mess! But it kept us warm for awhile."
