Blizzard by John Rocco
4.0
In February 1978 I was living in northern NJ. Presumably we got caught by the same storm that the author did. Apparently NJ got at least 2 feet of snow, which really is a lot less than the 4 feet the author got.
Still this was a sweet book, with good art and a boy hero. There was a lot more show than tell in this one. You see how much effort it was to dig out by hand just in how many days it took. And in the journey to the store, we see our hero took plenty of time to play. And 1978 wasn't past the point that society changed and the boy would have needed a chaperone at all times to avoid social services from being called.
This was a good one
