April 10, 1973 BLIZZARD

April 10, 1973 - The Way We Were - Blizzard

If you remember the April Blizzard of 1973, you'll enjoy reading this post and likely could tell your own story of personal experiences. Mine began months before when while dressing for work at WDBQ, Jan awoke and told of a dream she had about a Spring snowstorm. In great detail, she related how I managed to get to work but was stuck there for a day because I had gotten a ride to work by our neighbor who drove a fuel truck because our car got stuck in the snow. Imagine our shock when it all came true just 3 months later. 




Some of the WDBQ staff managed to get to work and we enjoyed the camaraderie. That Monday even I remember walking down the middle of Central Avenue with Al Sampson to have dinner at Dottie's Cafe. 
By Tuesday morning things were slowly getting back to normal. 

Here are a few pictures and ads from the TH on April 10, 1973, that should bring back some memories.
