TMLA had a rare snow holiday this past week bringing back past snowy memories including January 1996 when we had only 8 days of school because of so much snow and December of 1995 when all the Christmas festivities were canceled due to storms. And, of course, who can forget the blizzards of 1947 and 1969 - the infamous Lindsay Blizzard - when streets remained unplowed for days in Queens. Take a look at the snow scenes taken by S.

I remember the one in '69!! Made it all the way from Bayside to TMLA on the 76 bus. Trudged up the hill (and slid down twice) only to find school cancelled!!!
ReplyDeleteI know from '59 till'63 we had to hae some snow but we never closed I can remember waiting for the Q43 on Hillside ave for Hours. "Now I feel like all those old timers that talked of walking uphill both ways."
ReplyDeleteBut to be honest we never closed because Of weather that I remember.
