I lived in Indianapolis, Indiana that year. We had drifts that covered the house. We had one door that opened in, and had to crawl out that door, onto the roof of the house and dig for days to get the driveway cleared and for us to be able to see out the front door. School was closed for more than two weeks if I recall, and we had to tune into the public TV stations who broadcast classes for us while the city was snowbound. There were some warnings, so, we did have plenty of food and wood and power was intermittent for weeks. I think that was the 2nd year I ended up with pneumonia. Our backyard was flooded with the snowmelt for weeks.
I don't miss it.
