Says we only had 27 inches of snow in Boston but I remember it was over the cars. I think we already had a foot on the ground when it hit.

I wonder how many billions Daval will want, Dukakis got some back then from Jimmuh.

The blizzard of 78 was quite a storm. The cars were buried, and people actually were stuck in their cars out on 128. The coastal storm surge was serious, with many homes destroyed in Scituate, and other beach towns. Something like 75 people died in the storm, and it took days before the roads were cleared.

We did however get the local package store dug out within 24 hours.

That had me confused too. I finally figured it out. Out on 128 we got 36". 27" was for Logan. It was the all-time worst because it was actually two storms back-to-back over 36 hours.

Yeah, I was in Maine for it. Needed to ask a local farmer come plow us out with his bucket loader, because there was too much snow for the plow to move.

I was just a kid, but I remember it being well over my head. 27"? Maybe in a few of the bare spots. :-)
