I was 8. I remember dad crawling out a bedroom window to be able to dig the door open so we could get out. Remember sliding down off the roof of the house into the backyard. It was 2 days before a wheel loader made a bucket width trail down our street. Was great though never had to go to school for a week I can still see the piles of snow along the streets I couldn’t see the houses. Storm of 97 meh no comparison.

The storm of 97 brought the "Flood of the Century", but no it really wasn't that bad. The street that I lived on did not have a back lane on my side, we had the Seine River, but the city plowed the back lane on the opposite side of the street. I called and asked if they would be able to send a loader down the street to at least make a lane for those of us who didn't have access, I think there were 5 or 6 houses, but no, can't help you. Spent a few hours with my snowblower and made a path for my elderly neighbors and I to at least get out if we wanted or needed emergency vehicles to get in.
I left my car parked on the center median of St. Anne's Road for the first two days because I couldn't get down the block to my house. Thought for sure I would be ticketed, but nope, I figured at least it wasn't blocking the plows from clearing the main roads.
