Jackson Brower: Real Cabin fever in 1978, on Barnett's Creek 'Yes, Pam and I could not get across Barnetts Creek, and we had no other choice but curl up in our little cabin amidst 5 feet snow drifts and temps below zero. Plus, the VW bus wouldn't start no way, and the old Ford pickup was submerged in Barnetts Creek ice.' - JACKSON BROWER By Jackson Brower Adair County Pennsyltuckian This second "polar vortex" in two weeks time is quite remarkable, especially since I never heard of it three weeks ago. It's brought out all kinds of "weather experts" including Rush Limbaugh, who said it's a term made up by the liberal news media to justify global warming. Now, at face value, does that make sense? Not so, counters CNN who says "polar vortexes" have been around for ions. The Weather Channel is even naming these far out weather events, and ironically, I believe the first one was called "Ion", not to be confused with "Ian" or "eon." Anyway, it got colder than a witches' zit up here in Pennsyltucky, as well. Yesterday, Channel 4 said it set a record -11 degrees for the date, January 28. It was a real weather media event considering it broke the previous record for the date -10 degrees (WOW, BIG DIFFERENCE) set way back in 1978. I can't vouch for the accuracy of that weather fact, because guess where this writer was on January 28, 1978? . . . holed up with a severe case of cabin fever in our real cabin in good ole Adair County Kentucky. Yes, Pam and I could not get across Barnetts Creek, and we had no other choice but curl up in our little cabin amidst 5 feet snow drifts and temps below zero. Plus, the VW bus wouldn't start no way, and the old Ford pickup was submerged in Barnetts Creek ice. To make a long story short, 9 months later our beautiful baby girl, Cara, was born! --Jackson Brower This story was posted on 2014-01-29 02:47:57
