I remember actually holding that "Time Magazine" issue in my hands as a child that had the photo of NYC being overtaken by a glacier.(at least as best I can remember it was Time Magazine.)
It was a LONG time ago.
You weren't alone in that blizzard by the way.
I live in Maryland and if my memory serves me correct it was either 1977 or 78 when we too got three feet of snow.
I remember trying to play in it but the snow was sooooo deep that it came up to my neck.
So I did the next best thing... I made snow tunnels!!
I also remember the Time Magazine cover telling us we were going into the second iceage.
I also remember my high school science teacher saying that was BS because all the major glaciers in the world were retreating.
However, “journalists” never let little things like FACTS get in the way of selling magazines.
