GRAND RAPIDS -- It was the one-two punch that buried West Michigan. The blizzards of 1978 and 1979 -- some of the worst weather we've ever experienced.

Now, in a first-of-its-kind podcast, we travel back in time with two people who lived through it and worked to help West Michigan residents get through it. You'll also hear from meteorologists in Milwaukee and Chicago, including WGN's Tom Skilling.
