re: Share a random memory from your childhood.

When I was in either the 2nd Grade (early 1976) or the 3rd Grade (early 1977) there was a hard freeze. There was about 3-4 foot wide shallow, drainage ditch in which there was about 2 inches of ice. I wore some cowboy boots to slide down the ditch. My classmates showed up at school the next day in boots wanting to compete with each other.

Man, that was a cold snap. I remember my brother and I were walking to school and a guy was trying to get the ice off his windshield with a pot of hot water and seeing the windshield split in a couple of places after he poured the water.
