Maybe they'll recall the time they were trapped inside for days, or the time U. Army trucks rolled through the streets to bring provisions. And they'll invariably mention the legendary Blizzard of '77, when 66 inches of snow fell in a week amid high winds. They might even reach back to the Blizzard of '66 , when 60 mph winds blew in inches of snow.
For all the inconvenience and dangers, Tug Hill residents also know that snow is what helps bind them as a far-flung but tight-knit community. Snow helps define not just a place, but a community. Dutch Buchal, 86, remembers the Blizzard of '77 like this: "Oh, it was nice. At least we visited with our neighbors. Tug Hill residents have plenty of stories to tell. We asked for some of those stories from four Tug Hill natives, who between them have seen about winters and 60, inches of snow.
Like the welcoming bunch they are, they were happy to share. Dutch Buchal, Copenhagen. In a massive barn just north of the village of Copenhagen, Dutch Buchal keeps a collection of artifacts from an old-fashioned food chopper to a horse-drawn sleigh with skis used in winter.
One of his cherished possessions was a Polaris snowmobile he bought brand new in - one of the first snowmobiles in Tug Hill, he said. Fellows bought them all in Copenhagen. Buchal bought the smallest of the three. His snowmobile had no lights and no brakes, and its top speed was 12 mph. But there has never been such great snowmobiling, Buchal said.
You'd never see another snowmobile and you wouldn't even see a track," he said. Buchal was a wood cutter in January , and he had to ride his bulldozer into the woods - and don snowshoes to fell the trees - to get wood for his customers.
He remembers the rescue operation, too. It wasn't all bad. Turning to his son, Buchal asked: "What do you know about '77, Frank? We had a good time, didn't we? Jim Duppert, Constableville. Duppert has lived 73 of his 76 years in the same house on West Main Street in Constableville, in southern Lewis County. And he wouldn't live anywhere else. I feel we're pretty fortunate to live here. Duppert worked for 39 years at a paper mill in nearby Lyons Falls, about 10 miles from home, and only twice was he unable to get home because of the snow.
