I was 12 when that happened. Old enough to remember it well but not old to feel the weight of it that my parents did. People joke about how we bring it up a lot when talking about winter but damn was that shit crazy. Two weeks without power. We put our refrigerated items outside in the snow and ice to keep it cold. You couldn’t go anywhere without everything being encased in two inches of ice. Shit was wack

Fun fact from Springfield, if you didn’t already know, that kind of cashew chicken was invented here. If you were born and raised and travel elsewhere you have to ask for it “Springfield style” to get it that way it’s made here.
