Winter 2014 is a Day at the Beach Compared to the Blizzard of 1978

You know how kid memories seemed so vivid and extreme? Then you got older and realized that your young mind might have exaggerated the experience? In 1978, I was 13 years old and in 8th grade at Grand Haven Junior High (now White Pines Middle School). In that winter, I remember what seemed to us the winter 'storm of the century'. But living in Michigan, snow and snow storms are a way of life. I thought my memory may be hazy and that the storm wasn't as bad as I remembered. I couldn't remember when it hit, only that we were back in school after Christmas break and baby new year was 1, 978 years old  30th Anniversary of the Blizzard of 1978
