I found some old photos that my dad took way back when, I am pretty sure they are from 1976 since these were taken at the first house we lived in on Nylon Street in Carrollton and we moved when I was 8 years in 1978. That is my older brother shoveling, and myself when I was 6 years old, back when we had to wear snowsuits to go outside, like in the Christmas Story. I remember we got lots of snow, then a layer of freezing rain covered everything with ice after the snow.  I also remember being home for a few days until we got plowed out. Back in those days few people had four wheel drive and the old rear wheel drive cars did not do well in the snow even with snow tires.  I remember that was the first time I saw a snowmobile when I saw some riding around the neighborhood.
