Thankyou for your time today And have a wonderful week I live in Boston in 78 I was a kid I had lots of fun in the show. I was going to school I had no school for days I well never forget about it . But it was good time to.
I can't believe that was Boston back then wow we got a storm going on right now in Boston but it's nothing compared to this one during a year of 78 my mom was pregnant with me.
I was in Daniel Webster elementary school in Quincy, MA. Six years old...I remember them finally calling it and letting school out early. I lived a block away from school. I remember walking home in 12" deep snow, by the time it was all said and done we got 48+ inches! I made snow tunnels in my back yard. There was a snowbank in front of my house from a front end loader probably 10-12' high!
I spent 9 days as a district manager in one of my restaurant responsibilities on the expressway where we had to feed all the snow plow drivers, the state and MDC police and the MBTA starters that we're stuck in their booths underground where the food had to be delivered to them by the police. We also had an adjoining hotel that had 120 rooms and over 430 stuck in the hotel, no electricity for 4 days, all cooking on gas grills and stoves, coffee made by boiling 5 gallons of h20 and putting coffee grounds in a white cooks shirt acting as a filter for the liquid, the army had to deliver basic food to us as after 3 days as we we're out of everything and still had to feed over 700 meals 3 times a day, what an experience.
At 7 yrs old, it was just fun to me. My parents of course had a harder time. My Dad walked 5 miles to the grocery store with a sled to carry everything back. Luckily we had a gas stove & heat. Mom would cook or heat things up for the neighbors who had nonworking electric stoves.
I was 22 and had a Blazer with a snow plow - I gave rides to police / doctors ... and many trips to the packy ! Snow drifts were literally 5-10 feet tall in places - snow was light and fluffy and would blow around for the whole storm stacking up. The day after the storm was a beautiful Blue Sky calm day - so many house parties because no one was allowed to drive unless you had a snow plow ! The wind and ocean at high tide pushed the water and sand and rocks down streets and left some places with 3-5 feet of snow/slush/salt water/sand/rocks ... it took earth moving equipment to open up areas sometimes weeks later - snow banks were the height of telephone poles in some places! That week was the Day The Earth Stood Still !
I Was Just Happy To Be In Woburn,Mass , Birthday , Turned 7 .. Woke Up , And Snow Was Above The Front Door , Looked Out Bedroom 2 Floor Window .. Snow Covering P/U Truck's On Road .. Said To Sister , Let Ma' Know I'm Out Shoveling Snow From Front Door , As I Jumped Out 2nd Floor Window .. Scared My Mom , I Did Get Front Door Shoveled Out .. LOL , Fun For Us Kiddo's , No School And Plenty Of Sledding & Snow Ball Fights .. LOLROFLMFBO ~
The blizzard of '78 was much more intense. I was in high school at the time and I remember looking out of the second story window and seeing snow drifts piled high against the 1st floor windows. You couldn't even see the cars in the driveway because they were all buried in the snow. All you saw was antennas poking up through the snow. We had a tough time getting the door open to go out and shovel the snow. The snow banks were over 5 and 6 feet high. The roads were impassable and everything was ground to a halt due to the state of emergency. Businesses and schools were closed for a week so that emergency crews could commence cleanup. The state was basically shut down for a week with the exception of a few stores that stayed open so people could walk down there with their sleds and pick up necessities to bring home. Many homes were without power for quite awhile. I've never seen anything like it before and haven't since, including the snow in 2015.
I was 4. I was terrified because we had recently moved from a brick house to a “wood” split level. Apparently I loved the old story of the 3 little pigs who each build a house- one of brick, wood, and straw. I cried the first night because I thought the big bad wolf was going to “huff, and puff, and blow our house down” because we didn’t have brick. I was in Needham
I lived at Field's Corner and during the worst part of the storm I walked to Hyde Park to visit my girlfriend. She liked me then. We got married 9-9-78. She forgot 14 years later when she divorced me. Romeo just talked sweet to Juliet. I had icicles on my mustache to visit Mary. Oh well.

I was the same age and it was fun for my brothers and I too
I was in the National Guards when this happened. I spent 9 days out there.
Thank you for your service. I was in Worcester MA.
I was a civilian at the time but I had some Air Force fatigues so I went to the Victory road armory to help the National Guard.
No civilian cars were driving, it was like martial law on the roads
What month do you recall this occurring 🤔
I was in High school in Worcester, MA

My parents escaped this unknowingly. They went to South America for a vacation, and heard about this only after they came back home to Massachusetts.
I lived on Clarendon St. in the South End. Copley Square was fun.
I was 10 years old no school for two weeks.

Nothing compared to that storm of 78, we were basically sledding around for weeks and walking over cars it snowed for days straight nonstop
I was 3 yrs old

I wonder how all the junkies faired? People on methadone, heroin, pain pills ect.. A lot of withdrawing people in agony privately in their home's.
