1973/74 - Lots of Snow

Continuing with some old posts, the winter of 1973/74 had the most snow that I can recall in Fort Saskatchewan. I took a couple of photos - some carefully positioned so it appeared that the snow banks were up to the top of the first story of our house - and showed them to various English/Dutch (see also my Ft Sask School Band tour) to show how tough we Albertans were. I’d throw in an occasional reference to Edmonton’s record cold spell if they didn’t seem impressed...does anyone else still have the “I survived Edmonton’s Record Cold Spell” certificate from the Edmonton Journal?
