Reply #26: The one I was too young to remember in 1978

[Nikia]

I lived in rural Ohio with my parents. The storm brought high winds, heavy snow, and extremely cold temperatures. I was a small baby and the power went out at my parent's house. We did not have any alternate source of heat. My parents, fearing that I would freeze to death in the heatless house, walked across the street with me where they maintained power. Unfortunately, it was snowing heavily, pretty much white out. They got temporary lost walking across the street, but managed to reach the house 20 minutes later. Luckily, neither myself nor my parents froze to death and reached the neighbors who took us in until power was restored on our side of the street.
