I am in MD, I remember blizzards in Feb of 79 and 83 but not in 78. And 42 years ago was 79, not 78.

Yes, I have pictures like this from Indiana in "78".  Talk about a lot of snow!

That is one huge bunch of snow! I live in upstate New York, where we certainly have our fair share of blizzards. I remember the storm of 1993 when everything closed down, even the university where I worked. That was an unheard-of situation. There was no way I could get to work anyway. The snow was measured in feet. The only redeeming fact was that we never lost electricity, so I was able to cook, watch old movies, and stay warm.

I remember the blizzard of 1978.  We lived in a neighborhood of mostly young families with babies and young children.  Some of the neighborhood guys decided to try to drive to the store to get diapers but got stuck in a snowdrift and didn’t make it out of the subdivision until it got plowed a couple days later.

Oh yes, fond memories. I was living in suburb just North of Boston. Good thing was when we were able to get out of the house, neighbors were helping each other shovel out..
