<VV> Corvairs in Snow

[Ebarr19 at aol.com]

The storm of " 67 " I worked for Caterpillar Tractor and the union workers 
got off at 3:30 pm and when I got off a 4:00pm the cars were lined up from 
the traffic light at the main road clear back into the parking lots, no cars 
could move as the snow had blown into the engine compartments on some cars 
and while waiting at the lights the snow melted and stalled the cars.I had a 
corvair 95 van at the time that I used as a daily driver and also used when 
installing TV antenna's on weekends. I noticed that the back gate to the 
plant was open so I drove my corvair out the back gate and home to change 
clothes and went to work at my part-time job at a service station, got there by 
the starting time 5:00pm. Some cars were still in the parking lots at 8:pm. 
Yes I worked 3 jobs at that time, needed to save money for a downpayment for 
a house. That van was great in snow but you needed to be tenative on glare 
ice when it was windy.
