40th anniversary of the most anomalous weather event of my lifetime. This time 40 years ago I was playing in over a foot of snow and helping to clear the many trees that came crashing down blocking our driveway and access to electricity and running water. Wandering a very confused landscape of green-leafed trees exploding under the weight of all that wet snow. I can still hear the sounds in my memory, like it was yesterday.
How can I be this old??
