They named the "Blizzard of 78" for a reason....it was truly a 100 year storm! These are simply....snow storms...plain and simple.

Do you think if they had the technology that we have now the storm coverage may have been different? Yes...plain and simple. People would have been warned days in advanced and there would have been crazy coverage leading up to it and throughout it. They named it the blizzard of 78 simply because there was no other name for it.

Great point Larry. Now that was a STORM!!! We had 52" of snow and 14' drifts. Town used a road grader with a 12' V-plow to open my road after 6 days. Guy down the road had a snow machine and made runs to town for everyone to get beer, cigs (we all smoked back then) and eggs. We finally got out after a week.

I was in Providence at 4:30 in the afternoon the day the storm started. I was working for IBM and assigned to Spiedel. Had a Ford F250 4WD and actually made it home but it took 7 hours to go 30 miles.The highways were clogged with stuck vehicles but I got in back of a plow who went up the MEDIAN STRIP on 95N. Got to 295 and headed up the off ramp as the on ramp was full of stuck cars.

Wild memories!!
