As a kid we got the boxes with 5 rolls attached for July 4th because fireworks were illegal in the city. We hammered them on the sidewalk until the idea arrived to flatten a single roll and hammer it for a better blast. Eventually someone went for the sledgehammer and went for the 5 roll at a time. The blast was significant. We'd them singly hammer any leftovers.

I had one of those toy gun western 6 shooters with the plastic ivory grips. You fed the strip up thru the the bottom, and fire away.
I was always bummed out when I ran out of snap caps.

I do remember the Blizzard of '93. While we didn't lose power, we also couldn't get out of the driveway for 5 days due to 18" of snow.

We have had winters where we went 4 to 5 days without reaching 0 degrees Fahrenheit. (-18 Celsius) and I'm in S.E. Wisconsin
