Way back in 1978 in Massachusetts we had a snow storm that the news
casters were calling for a dusting to 3 inches. It was a Monday and all
businesses were open. Starting at about 10:00 AM the weather started to
change and the new forcast was for about 6 inches. By then businesses
were not too concerned but it was coming down at 2" per hr. Well one
news caster said it was going to be the perfect storm and it was a mess.
We got 40 inches in 24 hrs. People left work by 1:00 in the afternoon
and were stranded on the Mass Pike and died. The govener declared a
disaster and we were out of work for 1 week. It took many organizations
to help in the effort to remove people and cars from the road.

The Blizzard of 1978 was not the most snow we ever got, it was the
timing and forcasting that made it so bad.

BTW- Thanks for the pictures they were cool
