Have you heard the one about Grandpa walking through three feet of snow—uphill both ways—just to get home when he was a kid?

Well, you haven’t heard it like this!

During one sudden and relentless blizzard, lively Walt gets stuck for days in a barn by himself. “Awful!”

Meanwhile, shy Fred is trapped in an inn full of people. “Horrible!”

They both have to dig their way out. “The worst.” “You said it.”

What a terrible storm! But what a terrific—and funny—story!
