Linking to the Past

It snowed yesterday. The snow came down wet and heavy, lasting well into the night. Businesses were closing early. Driving was treacherous - and walking wasn't much better.

Exactly thirty-one years ago, we also had a bad storm. On that day, the snow wasn't as wet and heavy, but it was deeper and driving was also nearly impossible.

I’ve been thinking about that day a lot today. But mostly, I’ve been thinking about the day after that storm, a day that was exactly thirty-one years ago today.

It's hard for me to believe that that day was half my lifetime ago.
