Forty years ago this week, business was brisk at the police auto pound in Rochester.  In just two weeks, nearly 500 cars had been towed here - because they'd been illegally parked on streets marked snow emergency zones.

Meantime this week in 1969, Governor Nelson Rockefeller addressed a packed house in a town meeting at Monroe Community College.  At the time, newly elected President Richard Nixon wanted Rockefeller to be in his cabinet.  To hear what Rockefeller told Channel 8 newsman Tom Decker, click on the video.

Twenty years ago this week, someone was calling residents on Rochester's south east side to tell them they'd won a prize at Wegmans' East Avenue supermarket.  All they had to do was show up at the store to claim it.  Turns out, there was no prize.  Police think the houses were being targeted by burglars back in 1989.

Ten years ago this week, heavy snow caused roofs to collapse across the Rochester area, such as a house in Greece.  In Bethany, Genesee County, five cows were killed when the roof of a barn collapsed at Don Norton dairy farms.  All told, up to thirty inches of snow fell throughout the region this week in 1999.
