Cleanup to Come

January 27, 1978, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

The blizzard that Menasha felt in late January 1978 wasn't as bad as it could have been.  This was the famed "Blizzard of '78" that dropped enough snow in the Great Lakes area to the east of Wisconsin and Northeastern states to make 27 foot snowdrifts.  Still, as the picture above indicates, we had enough with the 42 mph winds and the five inches of snow we did get.
