The day after this Blizzard was my 3rd day of work at my first ever job(dishwasher,grapes kenaston).what was normally a 20min walk to work took me well over a hour,if not a couple lol.when I arrived there that morning there were still staff there snowed in from the night before. The manager thought I was crazy for coming in. once I left the house and encountered waist deep snow as far as the eye could see I should have figured it out that nothing would be open lol. Stayed at work and helped shovel most of the snow from the front entrance of the restaurant,it was piled up over 9ft in font of the bldg entrance and along all the lounge windows. My older brothers friend was working the bar the night before and every time I came in whilst shoveling to warm up he would slip me a shot of scotch lol,I left there that afternoon heavily buzzed,and having just turned 16 I was still new to the drinking thing. The walk home took me who knows how many hours.Still think of that day every time I have a shot of scotch.
me to I remember the police on snow machine going down Henderson highway. We spent a week trapped at my grandmother's house there were 8 of us in total.
I was 11 and living on Machray. My Grandparents lived on Bannerman and they were crusing the neighborhood on SNOWMOBILE. Me and my brother made a bunch of money shoveling snow the proceeding hours after this snowfall😮
I was 6years old, and on Saturday I decided to play outside, I walked over to the school…if my dad hadn’t come looking for me when he did he my not have found my tracks. I was overwhelmed by the blowing snow and he found me curled up in a snowdrift in the schoolyard. He carried me home on his shoulders, I will never forget that day and neither will he.
remember this well.. was a friday eve when it started! around 6 pm... by 11 pm main st was just a single lane traffic as soo much snow. By saturday the streets were Deserted!! cars abandoned in intersections.. snowed all day saturday.. Sunday monring the sky was blue and sun was shining and time for the digout!!
It was devastating. I lived in St. James and in 7th Grade, that time, and after that weekend, I had 2 days off school because of that blizzard and the Remembrance day holiday.
Whoever wrote Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland, let it snow, didn't have to shovel it or jump start their car, or push a pickup out of a drift. But the city sure did a fine job clearing the streets and walkway - mind you, I lived on Donald Street, downtown, so as soon as the blizzard let up I'd hear a roar and look out to see a battalion of plows clearing the streets. Awesome.
35 years ago! Had to put on my parents 40th anniversary a few days later. Sadly my ruby mums, the colour for 40, were frozen solid under 32" of snow! ( I measured) The stores were closed so was happy to have been mostly prepared food-wise! It was quite the adventure in my younger days!
Taking the skidoos from Transcona to Portage and Main was a trip I'll never forget. Love to Dom and his family at (now closed) Lawn Decor on Dugald Road.
I remember this like it was yesterday. I was downtown working. I started heading home west end of St James and I made it to Polo Park where a bunch of bozos had piled up and created a huge drift that I couldn't get past. I was wearing dress clothes and I walked home. I got frostbite on my feet.

I was attending the sturgeon creek high school at the time. Lots and lots and lots of snow. For Day's on end.
24Hours by CBC Manitoba was the best newscast in all of Manitoba back in the day.
and Murray Parker called this one perfectly on how it it would hit the city.
when the news was credible

We were driving up the snow banks. What a blast!
