The best part about the blizzard of 66 for me was being in Harrogate, England, the 13th ASA Army field Station and reading about it in the Stars and Stripes . My Parents sent photos, and newspaper clippings.
I was only four at the time and don't remember it, but my family always talked about that as the biggest snow ever... three days of constant snow
Was nine. Lived in Phoenix. Two storied house. Can remember jumping off the roof. Two weeks off school. Had to cross country ski across the bridge to get to town.
Trombone funnel I need to see the schematics of that.
Trombone comes apart in a few pieces. Remove the bell from the slide, turn upside down… funnel.

Tremendous. I won’t admit or deny what was done in the Otto costume in/around 95-96 time frame. Let’s just say it was not the store bought smell….Trombone comes apart in a few pieces. Remove the bell from the slide, turn upside down… funnel.
LOL. When I was Scooch the guy I shared the gig with was a huuuuuge sweater. Like soak the costume level of sweat. It did not smell good, that’s for sure.
Sweat > Spilt bong water/Beast mixture (hypothetically).
Funny story regarding the 1993 storm. I had shoveled the car out and wanted to go to Wegmans. I called to ask when they were going to close.
Bravo.
That lasted over 4 days of incessant snow.(I was a kid and was happy - no school for days).
The 1993 storm was horrible. It was on a Saturday and my husband was very sick in bed with bad case of bronchitis, fever and all. I didn’t realize it but our basement window had opened with the force of the wind and snow. I went down to get laundry from the dryer and saw water pouring from a pipe in the basement. It was freezing and snowing through the open window down there. I called the local Ace hardware to ask what I could do to stop it and they said they’d help me if I hurried because they were closing. The car was buried and I was forced to walk about a mile in that blizzard. The owner was in his car ready to leave. He thankfully reopened the store and gave me a temporary type sleeve thing to try to stop the water and all sorts of heavy tape etc.My eldest son who was home from college had walked with me and helped me. I turned off the water and put the sleeve type thing on the pipe. It held till we could get someone to fix it on Monday. What a mess cleaning up the basement floor and shoveling around the window outside so I was able to get it closed and put duct tape inside to make sure it kept closed. Thank heavens for Ace hardware. Not a good day.
My favorite storm was the ice storm of 1976 (Think that is the year). We lived in the outer Comstock area and would go sledding on the hill at the cemetery on Jamesville.
That 93 "Storm of the Century" is when me and my now wife first hooked up.
Her: "Wow, it's pretty bad out there. I don’t think you should drive home in that."
Me: "Oh, I guess I'll stay over then. Where am I sleeping?"
Her: "Where do you want to sleep?"
I remember the 1966 blizzard and the days following. None of my children believed me when I told them that the snow was piled so high that you could walk off the snow mounds piled on the side of the road right on to the top step of the school bus taking us to school (St Matthews).
I was at Harrogate much later than you. Beautiful area/countryside except one of the two years I was there it rained hard most of the year.
Yes it really is beautiful there, and the people are much different there then other parts of England. That's as close as I ever got to being married. Was engaged to a wonderful young women for 2 years and got transferred to Germany when they decided to turn it over to civilians.
Germany does good christmas. Pics of Harrogate look great.
