I was surprised to hear when I came home for lunch that this “monster” storm has been downgraded from “historic” to “potentially historic”.

Well, five minutes ago on New England Cable News (NECN), they are saying that there will very likely be MORE than 3 feet of snow in some areas.

The famous Blizzard of '78, which I well remember as the largest snowstorm in my lifetime, was 27.1" in accumulation, according to the chart of Boston's biggest snow storms.

The think about the '78 blizzard was 2 weeks before there was 24 inches dumped with little thaw.

The famous Blizzard of '78, which I well remember as the largest snowstorm in my lifetime, was 27.1" in accumulation, according to the chart of Boston's biggest snow storms.

That's what I recall. I don't think they count the fact that a storm of a foot or more occurred within a day or two of the 27" storm.

Nothing comes close in my memory. When I opened the garage door, the snow had drifted to 3/4 of the way to the ceiling. I just stood there with my shovel wondering where to shovel the snow.

When I finished shoveling, we could walk from the snowbank onto the roof.
