The same blizzards of '77 that Juan talked about came through here (Chi-town) first. Of course, before it got to Buffalo it had to *cross the mighty Michigan and part of the Erie I'm sure...
... but, round these parts, snow is always compared to the "Snowstorm" of 1967, which was much more fun at my age then...
... more memorable for me was the "Blizzard" of '79.
I like snowstorms more than blizzards, but they're likeable for the same *reasons.
