The highway road sign said “Wintry Conditions”<\/p>\n\n\n\n


January 22, 2026 a large snow storm dumped 18 inches of the white stuff in the Providence RI area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I remember snow storms when I was young. I’d go sledding at my friend’s housethat had a hill. When we got too cold to stay out, we’d go warm up inside with somehot chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The 1978 Blizzard happened the day before I turned 12 years old.
I woke up to hear: No school
Yet we couldn’t go out. The next day the only door we could go out was the back porch door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We went out to unbury the cars.
A huge Backhoe truck made passes to clear the snow.
There were some people that got trapped in the storm.
It was two weeks until school opened again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


People walked up the street to the convenient store.
We enjoyed stopping and talking to our neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


With this latest storm, I noticed some kids sledding at the playing field hill.
On the way to an appointment, My daughter pointed out a deer in Lincoln Woods park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I did a couple of Pen and Ink drawings, which you can see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Best,
LG
