Snow storm, you say?. It brings back the
memory of the day after Christmas, 1947, "The '47 storm".
We were out delivering belated Christmas mail [and bills and IRS
forms ] when the "flurries " kept coming and coming down.
The light flurries eventually piled up to 27 beautiful inches.
For the next week or so, many of us WALKED streets that are familiar
to all of us. Sometimes, if lucky, we caught a bus, heading downtown
from the various "carbarns ". Avenues > Springfield,
So. Orange, Central, Clinton, 18th, Avon.
I'm sure all neighborhoods had the their hearty groups who braved
the elements to get to their daily work. {Great work-ethic }. The
snow seemed to hang around till April and because there was not
as much pollution, it remained almost "white" and "picture
like". I must add again about dedication to get to work. That's
"going postal".
