The First Noel

I am trying to figure out when Noel, the Standard Poodle wandered in on a cold December day. I know Noel was around during a blizzard which everyone keeps saying was 1978.
Did Maryland also get hit by a Blizzard in 1979?

As far as the day, I know it was one of the four days between my birthday and Christmas but not Christmas Eve, most likely. By Christmas she had shown us whatever she was supposed to do and we already exchanged the movie rights for an Atari 2600 which at the time was the most advanced gaming system out there.

Accounts of who first came across Noel (Jeff, Andrea or I) vary.

Tommy at the time worked at Montgomery Wards, probably imaging the future technology of a speaker phone on a television!!

I remember turning around in the side yard and seeing this very large white dog and my first reaction was not what a nice dog.

Jeff and Andrea both said they saw the dog first.

I remember the dog sitting on the cold porch and running inside when given the chance.
