The Blizzard of '77 had 60 below windchills and gave us a taste of a unique winter hurricane with winds between 70 and 80 miles per hour.

I spent that winter up on the intersection of the Montana - NoDak - Saskatchewan borders and it was frickin' COLD. <BR/><BR/>I drove from Florida (where I attended the ADCOM NCO Academy) up to South Bend (where I spent a few days with TSMP, my intended at the time) and then on to NoDak... hard on the heels of the blizzard that swept through the Mid-West in December of that year. The interstate west of Fargo was down to one lane for the whole flippin' trip... and the two-lane roads between Bismark, ND and home were danged near impassable. But I made it... arriving "home" a couple of days before Christmas Eve. <BR/><BR/>I awoke the next day only to find myself in the same situation as you described, Pat: My battery was frozen solid. Bad Day, that was. I had to <I>walk</I> about a half mile into town to get a new battery. Doesn't sound like a Big Deal, until ya realize it was about 20 below... absolute, NOT wind chill. And the wind was howling...<BR/><BR/>I don't miss the cold AT ALL... thank ya! Stay warm...Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
