Wintery Scene
Cortez, Colorado
Thursday, December 21, 1967
This old newspaper clipping was in my Grandmother Maymie's papers. It was published 56 years ago today - December 21. Not sure if there was a specific reason Maymie clipped the picture from the newspaper, but I can definitely remember that snowy December.❄️❄️❄️
It was 1967 and my family had just moved back to Cortez, Colorado from sunny Arizona. In Arizona, I was used to driving on nice dry roads. Not long after arriving in Cortez, this storm hit just before Christmas. While trying to stop at a red light on main street, my car slid into the middle of the intersection. The intersection can be seen in the background. Thankfully I did not run into a pedestrian or a vehicle, and thankfully another car did not hit me.
those are some cool cars! the first time driving in the snow is always an adventure!
ReplyDeleteI love the name your grandmas name, Maymie, I think that’s so cute. It’s always fun getting snow right before Christmas. It’s a christmas miracle that you didn’t get hit when your car slid! I would assume it’s really scary and hard driving a stick shift in snow.
