THE BLIZZARD OF 1978 WE CAN'T FIND ON THE WEB

The worst blizzard of my life was in 1978 and I can't find a single reference to it happening in Saskatchewan on the net. I know people with personal photos from it and several of us remember it well. Dad had to go to work as a cop on a snowmobile and so did the EMS workers. They where phoning houses to see if they needed to be rescued. And why the hell there is not one post on the net that I can find is the strangest thing ever. We where out of school for a week. It took several days for the city to be plowed out and that was just the main streets. I've seen a photo of a friend on the roof of his home and the snow up to the 2nd floor windows. I remember full well my brother and I going out the window to dig out the back door and a path to the 2 gates then the next day a path to the street. Yet nothing at all I can find. Not one photo. I can find them for Manitoba but not for here. Just strange.

A friend found a reference HERE - it's the last entry from Feb 1978. That is the storm - see the photo at the top.
