It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since the Blizzard of '93. 20 years since I got stuck at work for a few days (and nights). 20 years since I had the honor of working with the most awesome group of people. We pulled together.
Working in a nursing home or any place that has patients in-house, you cannot leave during severe weather. If you leave employment can be terminated. Nobody else could get in because the roads were closed.
It was 30 degrees above freezing when I went to work that morning. By noon it had dropped below freezing and we had a foot of snow on the ground. By 8 we had 22".
It happened again yesterday on the 20th anniversary but thankfully we only got a few inches. When I left for town we were having a few random flakes, 4 miles later it looked like a blizzard. The roads became dangerous. An hour later we had a lot of snow.
Oh the beauty of winter in Appalachia.....
