Peggy Fudge: Cabin fever ain't what it used to be Weather, as history, is what intrigues her. 'Historical reports of snow that didn't disappear until summer make us wonder every time the snow flies if that might happen again,' she writes. And puzzles over the time - was it February 1977 - when we were snowed in for a whole month. And joins our plea to Mike and his history cousin./brother, to enlighten us during the days of ennui we face. - CM By Peggy Fudge I really enjoy reading about the weather-when it's history. If it's what's happening today, I pretty much take the attitude of 'it is what it is-deal with it.' If you're talking years ago, I enjoy the stories (sometimes enhanced with age) of how bad it was and how everyone got through it. Books like the 'Little House' series by Laura Ingalls Wilder remind us of how the mind-numbing cold, wind, snow, hunger, and exhaustion could be deadly. Historical reports of snow that didn't disappear until summer make us wonder every time the snow flies if that might happen again. We can ponder these things as we nudge up the thermostat for our central heat, ladle up another bowl of chili, pour a glass of milk, grab a paper towel and sit down in front of the screen to watch a movie on Netflix. Thanks to technology, we can know days in advance to prepare for the weather, the stores can lay in extra milk, bread, and toilet paper, and we don't even have to run to the store to rent a movie. Cabin fever ain't what it used to be. Speaking of which - was February of 1977 the time we were snowed in for a whole month? ? It snowed every few days and was too cold to thaw. I missed a whole month of student teaching. Can Mike enlighten us? --Peggy Fudge Comments re article 73198 MIKE WATSON SnowGo once again Historic snow days from 11 February 2014 This story was posted on 2015-02-16 14:54:17
