The 1978 N’Easter hit upstate and N.E. The hardest but Manhattan got clobbered. About 18-20” in 24hrs. I used my X-country skis to go to work. W72nd off CPW to Mad. Ave & 58th. Sweet skiing for 2 days. Plowed drifts on W72nd were over 8 feet high. Cars were stranded under them for more than a week, solid ice..wonderful quiet.

Boston got hit with one storm on Jan 20th that drop 21 inches, then the “Blizzard of 78” hit dropping another 28 inches two weeks later.
Then there was the tidal surge that destroyed thousands of homes - basically a winter hurricane.
It was YOU I saw on Barbara Walters’ Today Show! I was home with some awful flu and watched tv all day. I clearly remember the skiers. There’s always been a reason I liked you, Cov!
Nothing will ever beat The Blizzard of ‘78.
Nothing.
Oddly enough it started on a Monday and snowed until Wednesday.
