Great memory, an early adventure.

This is a good story and I can certainly relate to hanging onto a tractor
for transportation.

A cold snap is hitting Northwest Ohio, likely to last for a week or more with low wind chills, temps to maybe hit the low 20s during the day and then drop to single digits at night. Brrrr. When I think of my young years in the 50s and 60s, winter never kept me indoors as it does now, what with walking back and forth to school, which took about 45 minutes in the snow one way, and then endless hours sledding and ice skating on the hills and creek in front of my house. I did experience one blizzard in 1978, a whopper of a storm, with winds and drifts as you describe, which stopped everything in its tracks for many days. Your mom and dad were smart to get to town, and I'm glad your brother was born safely and that you were safe through the storm. Wish I could have ridden on that tractor with you!
