A question for Ohio residents

I remember that blizzard in 78 very well. My folks lived in what at the time was a brand new large apartment complex where most everyone had a new car. I had an old beat up Chevy Vega with aluminum block engine and amazingly my old POS car was the only one that would start for 3 days.  I was unemployed at the time so I cleaned up doing grocery runs and running people to work that week. I've absolutely despised cold weather and snow ever since nearly freezing to death several times as a young man when for some ******** reason I thought it was a good idea to hitch hike cross country in the winter. I can't begin to tell you why I'm still alive to this day.
