Raven, I remember that storm. I think it was 1957, I hadn't started school yet. My family drove from Southern Ohio to North Truro in it. I can remember being hypnotized by snowflakes coming at the windshield for hours on end. We finally got there and the next day Dad's 54 Chevy was buried, all that showed was the ball on the antenna. The kid across the street was digging tunnels but my folks wouldn't let me out. I was POed.

I was living in Pawtucket. I measured a level 44" in the back yard. There were drifts as high as my grandmother's garage next door.

The storm also created one of those quintessential Row Dylun legends--Joe Garrahy's red plaid shirt, which now sits in some kind of Rhody hall of fame
