Some random blizzard memories from my days in Rhode Island:
Looking from my window at work, seeing the writing on the mall (Westminster), leaving Providence early for the 45 minute drive to Narragansett, arriving three hours later – saw what was happening on Route 1 in the nick of time, got off onto 138.
The appalling, astounding violence of gale-driven snow in my face outside my house at night, helping a struggling motorist.
A week of unplowed roads and snow-bound cabin fever. Not so bad, really.
Brown University students building ski jumps down College Street.
At least one birth on interstate 195 between Providence and Fall River.
The indulgent smile of a plow operator brought in from Buffalo, interviewed on television. "You had a pretty good storm" – nothing new to him, apparently.
The amusing Punch and Judy show in Providence, with mayor "Buddy" Cianci and Governor Garrahy accusing each other of not being able to find the National Guard snow plows.
