My dad got stuck in that one while on a business trip from Albany. Luckily he was stuck in a hotel next to a diner. Said he lived on pancakes and fried chicken for 2 days before everyone could get out.

That was a bad storm man ,, we had no school for two weeks then led into feb vaca. We went to school extra hour a day till June to make up the time
