Aurora, IL. I was there in early Feb. 1967 for my brother's wedding to a west Aurora girl and when we came down out of the clouds and were about to make touchdown at O'Hell airport, all I could see was a sea of white with antenae sticking up. We were over the parking lot there at O'Hare. I loved Aurora and the snow drifts that went all the way up to the ridge poles of houses. My younger brother and I dug a tunnel through one and it was still there in May. Now that's what I call a winter. Here in Georgia a heavy snow can be gone in days. You have to enjoy the snow in a hurry. We went to a basketball game with West aurora hosting East Aurora. Talk about a rivalry! I've never been next to a trash can before when it explodes. I had seen an East Aurora person walk by it moments before.
