Not to jinx us, but this month's post is about a weather event. Fifty years ago this month, Rochester residents were busy digging out from the Blizzard of 1965. A foot of snow was dropped on the area, carried by 50-mile-an-hour winds. According to the
Rochester Clarion's report, schools, factories and most downtown businesses were closed for two days. The snow removal cost the village of Rochester $4455 and 742 man hours.
