Let It Snow

Do you remember when wehad our last major snowstorm ? If you were in

the area between February 10 and 12 , 1983 , the snowstorm that socked in the mid-Atlantic region of the U . S . ishard toforget . The greater New York City region was pretty much shut down , and Central Park was covered in 17.6 inches , making itthe 13th largest snowstorm on record inthe city . In Millburn , this car was socked in ; hopefully its inhabitants found some consolation recognizing that they were living through ahistoric event . ■
