    Thank you for this! I was not born yet, 75' but I think there was a 76' storm, no? I miss Chicago and the snow. I've been in Los Angeles for ten years now. Hope you all are keeping warm!

    LAChicagoGirl, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. After the blizzard of 1967, came the blizzard of 1979.

    These are great videos! Thanks for posting. I wasn't born yet but I do remember "snow days" as a kid in the 80's. I miss the City and can't wait to move back!!
