A serene view of one of the Corcoran bridges settles one's nerves during a hectic school day Schools, Businesses, and highways were shut down. Airports were closed or operated with reduced flights. Power outages were reported, Trains ran late. Some newspapers shortened publications. A city-county command center was set up in the Public Safety Building. Su- permarket shelves were stripped of all essen- tial items. These were just some of the pre- cautions and efforts taken against the storm that wasn't. All this occurred on Thursday, January 26, 1978. Syracuse City School Superintendent, Sidney L. Johnson admitted that weather did not be- come as treacherous as forecasted, but he said the winds, which brought the tempera- ture to 40 degrees below zero, caused him to close schools. Johnson noted that the wind- chill factor caused concern because more than 12,000 district students must walk to school. All indicators showed that Syracuse was in the path of a killer storm that had left 40 people dead, thousands stranded, and several states declared official disaster areas. The Na- tional Weather Service in Ohio reported that blizzard conditions, with winds up to 70 mph was the strongest to pass over the state in 100 years. When you have something that has totally devastated three states and is coming your way, you can't just ignore that, said Richard Neave, Hancock Airport Me- teorologist. Fortunately for Syracusians, the storm chang- ed course before reaching our area. Yet, there were those who criticised the Police, the Su- perintendents' of schools and even the me- teorologists who took the necessary precau- tions to assure our protection. We of the Glen Echo Staff support all those who made an effort to warn us of the possi- ble hazzards. We are grateful to Mr. Neave and concur with his statement, K'I'd rather miss the storm this way than to miss it the other way and have the deaths and the agony that come with it on my mind. Upper Onondaga Park is the setting for this quiet bridge situated near Hiawatha Lake. Q0 Q gg if 5 kk ' gg , , of - .J y ia f Aw E399 Q53 D.
