Dang! That brings on another back-in-the-day story. Back in the mid 70s, in Newtown, CT, it was a nasty winter. We had just had a 2 foot snowfall/blizzard and the snow had drifted real bad. Then we had a ice storm on top of that, then the temperatures headed down to zero.
It was funny watching my boys ice skate on lawns all over the neighborhood. The governor shut down the state for several days as far as vehicle traffic (except emergency vehicles) on the streets and roads.
We were OK, till I ran out of cigarettes and whisky -
So, I fired up my dirt bike and took to the ditches heading for the country store, which was about a mile away. I knew they would be open because they lived up over the store.
I scored the essential items and rode/slid back home.
THE END
