1. Win-what?

Tell me about it.

[CatholicEdHead]

2. The good news is many people will have much lower heating bills

instead of an average winter where many would be close to freezing to death.

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. I think I heard about that once, when I was little.

:o

[sasquatch]

9. Does your onionhead slave know about it?

[Kathleen04]

5. Not alot

of cold weather or snow this season in Indiana either, Strange is I've noticed whenever there's a Bush in office, we have mild winters without alot of cold weather or snow. When Clinton was in office we had always seemed to have a lot of snow storms and we actually had a record low temp. Could it be something along the way that when a Bush's is in office that hell overheats it's self and we have these warm winters?

6. I'm in San Diego so I really cant remember such a season.

But can remember it from when I was growing up in Boston.

7. Here's a snippet from our family history - The Blizzard of 1888:

On Thursday morning, January 12th, word came that our teacher
could not be at her desk until noon. Director Father went with
us that day to school on that eventful day and was substitute
teacher for three hours in District #33. About 2:30 PM, with
but a few minutes warning, came one of the most violent mass
of whirling, fast freezing, powdery snow. Sixteen scholars and
teacher, assisted by neighbor Littell and the older pupils,
managed to reach a fence line and battle our blinded way to
the Littell farm residence. Here we unbundled to nurse our
frosted spots and were sheltered for the night.

Father's first thought at home was of we three and of the
other scholars that might try to reach home and at once set
out for the school house, one mile distant. He reached the
Littell home before we had arrived and again set foot for
the school building which he never found. The Littells fired
shots in the air at intervals, hoping that Father might hear
and so be guided to safety should he be nearby. That night
had the longest hours we ever experienced - knowing that
Father snowbound could not possibly ride such storm and we
in utter helplessness. Early the next morning, the storm past,
we struggled our way homeward to a reunion that
was worth the angels recording.

After many hours struggle - missing his way to the school - hoping,
fighting to reach some shelter before his waning strength
failed him, Father found a building - rested a bit -
stumbled his way to a door AND MOTHER HELPED HIM IN !!!!
Their night too was a long one with silent, earnest prayer
for the guidance of the Almighty upon their children and
for scholars and teachers everywhere.

Thirty eight years of prime living stood Father well
through the ordeal, though his slight deafness soon after
began to be more of a handicap. In the days that followed
we learned how miraculous was our fortune when hearing of
the lives lost and of many who were badly frozen. This blizzard,
though of comparatively short duration, was to go down in history
as the great "blizzard of 88". Fifty years later, a January 12th
blizzard club was organized at Lincoln, composed of those who
had gone through and were in that terrible storm. Father,
a very worthy member, will be honored with an article of
his own pen in a book to be published in due time.
The title of the volume, "In All Its Fury".
