Thank you, lostmemory. I think you are right about the Dec 1969 snowstorm. I’m not sure on what date it occurred. I have a vague recollection of snow on the ground on Christmas Day 1969, but not to the extent that my parents and I could not drive from Cornelia St. to my grandmother’s house on Harman St. to spend Christmas there. I was probably preoccupied with my Christmas gift, the Stones album “Let It Bleed”, and how great it would sound on my cousin’s stereo.
Thanks, lostmemory. So I was correct about the date of Feb 9 1969. But I also remember reading something about Lindsay and a Christmas 1969 snowstorm in NYC as well.
AprilW., yes, I was referring to your recollection of the date as 2/9/69. The February 13, 1969 edition of the Ridgewood Times is not that easily accessed. A trip to the central library in Jamaica may be necessary.

I accidentally logged myself out of this site, and am now back as “PKoch” rather than “Peter.K”.
lostmemory, I think the “Mayor Lindsay Snowstorm” was right before Christmas 1969, because it was the second big snowstorm that year, Feb. 9, 1969 being the first, for which Lindsay was criticized for not getting the snow off the streets fast enough.
