Blizzard Of 78 And Energy Crisis Freeze Plymouth The Blizzard of '78 What an expan ence' Everybody who lived through it will realty have some good memories The coal miners' strike was on top of it all. The energy crisis began and everything was a disaster. The Bliz zard froze the whole mid western part of the United States. It left people stranded n cars along the highways and in iheir homes where the heat tails were gening higher every minute There were drifts over people's heads and the roads were |ust one sheet of ce The word finally came that the coal supply was getting low The United States governors ordered a cutback m the use of energy People were asked to turn their thermostats down at night and try not to waste energy The strike went on for months and it finally warmed up to a mere 40 degrees. It was nice to see people uptown in their cars with their windows down but at night the tempera lure went down again and Plymouth turned into a ghost town Store lights were turned off. the pool in the school was shut down, and the classrooms were darkened. If we do have another blizzard like this one. at least we ll know what to do. but |ust keep praying that we never have another one like the Blizzard of 78.
