Haha that’s all I remember it doing as a kid back  there ….. wasn’t a big deal when we were saucer and sled age …. Then we grew up and and had to run 500 miles in it wasn’t so much fun… anymore Bob

me thinks they are off by around 10 years as a lot of the cars in the video are early - mid 70's

other than that, itis about as how i remembered. plow, shovel, and then get ready for the next storm.

Penn DOT got their years wrong, There is a square nose Chevy pick-up and a Ford LTD with 5 MPH crash bumpers in there. I'd say 1973 at the earliest.

Now I see guys wearing arc flash gear to close the main breaker in a 120/208 volt panel. A few years ago I got written up for not wearing hard hat and glasses in a refinery. I was sitting on my trailer, out in the middle of an open field, at least 1000 feet from anything waiting for a call on the radio and watching boats on the Delaware river

Right out our back door and across one farm field we had a big hill. Day off from school, sledding on the big hill, and when we came in my grandmother would make us waffles, and hot chocolate with marshmallow on top. Half the kids in the neighborhood would be in her kitchen for waffles and hot chocolate. Big brick fireplace in her kitchen too.

I noticed the same thing TJ towards the beginning it looked like a later Buick Skylark stuck on the snow

what first caught my eye was the 74 gran torino. then the square body chevy trucks.

kind of funny bud most of us car buffs  are not gonna miss much with old clips. And yes, I mentioned I lived on a dead-end street. We use to  sled right down our dead end road there was usually nobody on it all day

[mowerman]

And yes, Tom once we have to work in  it all the fun seems to go away

For sure, and I didn't do it near as much as you did.

[mowerman]

Oh, any of it sucks and you know most nights I knew I was driving a little faster than I should’ve been a lot of stress

As ugly as these trucks are, I like em... I wonder if it was easier to work on them compared to the trucks i learned on..
