A good read on one sad incident from the Blizzard of 78 (Gloucester)is a book titled "Ten hours till dawn"

I worked as a truck driver for an excavating contractor way back then.. I plowed and sanded for 76 hours straight through, we didn't get it as bad as Boston and the south shore did.. my boss took off for Boston with his 10 wheeler and the D8 on the flatbed.. he got confiscated by the National Gaurd on Rt. 3, and spent the next 11 days in Hull!
He made some serious money on that one...

Its one of my only memories in life , then there was the GI that got squished by an M60 tank in May 78 . the rest of 78 is a blank
