I am 49 and feel the same. It seems like things were way less complicated then, but then again I keep telling myself that we were kids then. I keep thinking of my grandmother that was 9 years old during the Spanish flu and imagine her having to wear a mask back then just like we are today. It is surreal.

@@EJulia33 God bless U & your grandmother. 🙏🏿

God bless you too, I am 60 and remember this blizzard I was in high school we were off for a week it was a blast, I miss my family my parents are gone now and my two sisters also. God bless all.

@@karenchakey Thank U for your blessings, & trust me when I say, “I feel U!” I know that U miss your parents & your sisters. I am truly sorry for your losses. What were there names, & what do U remember most about each of them. 🙏🏿

@@EJulia33 The difference is that the fear was really warranted back in 1918 since the Spanish flu was 100 times deadlier for the average healthy person compared to covid-19.

That's one tale for your grandkids! 😆

That is awesome. I was only six when this blizzard happened, but remember it vividly.

Survival kit!😊

Man I feel U! 👍🏿

How dare technology advance like it always does. I'm sure people complained about how people used to get around just fine without cars.

@@lugialover09 technology sucks its made people more lazy and dependent and taken away social lives

We sure did. That was an aweful winter. I was 7 and we lived upstairs and ice was covering out wallsin the inside we could not open out door to get out the snow was all the way up to the second floor trapping us in our home. We could see our breath in the house. Unreal.

@cockyhemi "...and we made it just fine" implies that the technology is superfluous. It seemed to carry a "back in the good ol' days" vibe.

Danimal1978 Yep and it sucks. Makes people look like Karen

Haha, and ghoulardi was king, and hoolihan and big chuck were just that :D. oh yea capt penny, woodrow the woodsman, franz the toymaker, barnaby, superhost, all the important stuff :D

Oh my goodness! I remember the polka!!!! I’m ancient!!!!

It wasn't that good.

Facts

When I was a kid me and my family was walking around SeaWorld I'm from Warren and big Chuck walks right past us my dad stops dead in his tracks and goes holyshit your big Chuck he stops and shook her hand and that was a special moment

I got a tour of Sea World just before it opened. My dad was a contractor on the project.

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏿

Any relation to "Henry Goddard"?

awesome. i worked at sea world too. 1987. sad what happened to geauga lake and sea world. sigh. days of yore....

Maple hts is a lot different now lol

@@mrhaha1980 Yeah, I know. I don't live that far away now.

Good in high school football.

The very best! Always talkin about that Alberta Clipper! 😆

Yes Dick Goddard was one of the best meteorologists I watched growing up in Ohio. The combination of Wally Kinnan and Dick Goddard gave me a lot of knowledge about weather.

@@maclac48right, and Woolley Bears and the annual Woolley Bear Festival 😂

@@cdubz265 EXACTLY!!! 🎯

They made us ride a bus to a school with a coal fired boiler and called it school without schools, that sucked. Now they cancel school for 3” oh brother

Did either of you get married?

@@antoniomitchell1883 unfortunately he passed away two months later. I eventually met and married the man I'm still with, 11 years after my bf passed away.

Who would ever think you would reproduce. Lol

That was me. I just wanted to how fast you could move your little ass!

traxxas man nice

You said it. It was No Joke!!!

Dick Goddard Tim Taylor. Wow.

I was 6 yrs old and lived off Route 303 in Brunswick during this storm

I was 15 and lived in Brook Park near Hopkins Airport. We were off school for a week.

I was like 12 years old I remember shoveling snow to buy records at peaches 🍑 music store. We were off school for about a week

Haha I was 10 and lived in Brunswick at the time!! moved to Texas 2 yrs later! But I'm back home now.....

@@ericm4815 I was 7. I ended up Nashville but like u im back home too. That storm really was a mess.

I too live in the great town of Brunswick during the time period. Love being off for school for a week. The only problem was we had to make it up on Saturday morning in the spring. I was 7 at the time and when to Towslee

@Candy Smith Until this year (2/2021) when the deep freeze hit Texas

I was 6 years old too and we lived in Bryan, Ohio. Our power went out and we had to burn our furniture in our fireplace to survive. I will never forget the sound of that howling wind. The freezing rain made it so we couldn’t open our doors or windows. The snow was so high that there was only about 6 inches of light from the top of our glass, patio front door. Once we got out, my older sister and I climbed the snow to the top of our neighbor’s building with our sleds and we just kept sledding off his building. I remember seeing whole cars swallowed by the snow and we could barely make out that a car was there at all. It was surreal and will never forget it.

Hough to East Cleveland? Now I see why East Cleveland became the arm pit of NE Oho.

How are u today

I’m surprised you didn’t burn the house down while she was gone.

That NE storm was a month later. CB

@@EmmyPierz-ek7hi Different storm, you are correct. A month later? I'm not sure. This storm in Clev was Jan 26th. NE blizzard of 78 was Feb 5th. So A couple weeks.

@@100chuckjones yeah was just guessing. Both storms on u-tube. CB

No you don’t.

I was born that July,. Maaan you look old as hell like Fred G. Sanford

@@antoniomitchell1883 not really. Unless you relate the Grey beard to being old. What can I say,I went Grey early. Gained a lot of wisdom and weathered a lot of storms in my 43 years!!! Wouldn't change it for the world!!!

Lived in Massillon. We had a ranch house. My dad and brothers shoveled snow off the roof. I was too young.

Fischer Fazios’ Costa Foods. Not to be mistaken for Fisher Foods in Canton. Worked for their chief competitor: Pick-n-Pay for ~10 yrs.

I'll bet you're husband had fun, too!

yeah well it was NEW at the time! you expect them to say well Back in 1978? they, the news & People always mention the "New year" in January. any one has to be dumb to not get it.

I think pretty much the whole state got nailed...😬❄❄⛄

I heard 79 had a bad one too

@@antoniomitchell1883 It did! For a span of time (1976-1983 or 84) we had blizzards just about every year in NW Ohio.

@@Sueb18631 I’m born in 78

@@antoniomitchell1883 Cool! :)

No it's 1978. In January 1977 they were WJW, which was changed to WJKW in April 1977. And in Summer 1977 they changed the Intro of Newscenter 8 from MacArthur Park to the one you see at the beginning.

But he dont use a marker or paper cut outs any more this is way too cool. I was born in 83 so to see this was a real treat

no his not

He will come to your house and do the weather.

Oh fu@k ! I’m old enough to remember this. My brothers and sisters were in the repository for building a huge snow man. I was in that picture. A very young person. Lol

No he is not he retired last November.

3 days

Wait, you mean you’re the Beverly Hillbillies???!!!

No they didn’t.

The Big Blizzard was Jan 1978.. 😁

Tim Taylor made a pass at my mom once. My dad then made a pass at tim Taylor.
