Wow what a difference a few years makes from snow days then versus snow days now! Actually it’s been well over 50 years since I was that little girl excited to hear that it was going to snow. Back then my brothers and I couldn’t wait for the snowflakes to start falling enough to make our little corner of the world wintry white. I can remember watching meteorologist Don Woods and Gusty, a simple cartoon character he would quickly draw on screen to know if you needed to grab your sunscreen, umbrella or your snow boots. So we would all sit glued to the big old screen television in the living room (like most homes back then that only had one in the family room) and we would pray that Gusty needed his snow shovel, scarf and snow boots.
