[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1313918, member: 14713"] In the spring of 1966 I was not quite 4 yrs old and barely remember it. Dad and I were baching at home while Mom was in Faith SD during the school week teaching school. The one thing I do remember is that I was in the house alone and decided I was gonna go out and help Dad. Dad had hooked the storm door from the outside with the hook and eye latch so I could not open it. He didn't think of me going downstairs to go out the basement door :o I went down the basement and opened the door. Looked outside, saw the blizzard raging, closed the door and decided I wasn't going out in that :oops: :oops: :oops: I don't remember about livestock losses. Seems Dad had a bunch of pigs in a barn that blew full of snow, but he got most of them dug out and saved them. Another thing I remember after the storm was over was I could walk right up the snowbank onto the leanto part of the barn roof. Somewhere I have storm pictures from the old motel in town where Mom stayed while teaching school. There was just a tunnel dug through the snow to her south facing room on the main drag (US 212) through town :shock: [/QUOTE]
