Survivor of the Blizzard of ‘78 here. I had no problems, but my girlfriend’s brother had to abandon his car on Route 128, and by the time he found it again, it had been flattened by a snowplow.
I knew someone who had to abandon his car on 128. They were able to walk to a house where they and 27 other people camped out in the living room. ( 2bed, 1.5 bath house). They stayed there 2 days, the food ran out and they walked 13 miles to get home. They never got their car back in one piece.
