I was 6 and thought it was the greatest thing ever. we were out of school for almost 2 weeks, although my parents thought different good thing we lived out the garden we had plenty to eat stayed warm even lost power for a day or 2. Great memories had so much fun

I was 20 years old living in Fall River Massachusetts... I had a 1966 mustang with tractor tred type tires , almost unstoppable. I had a permit to drive Nurses to the from the Hospital... All my friends couldn't drive for a Week... I had a blast out cruising around...

I was in my early 20s. Worked and live in Fairfield County CT. Left work at 4 PM and I95 looked like a scene from a WWII movie. Cars were stuck in snow. There were jack knifed tractor trailers and my little VW rabbit with front wheel drive and a stick shift got me through it and home. They closed I95 for 3 days and brought in the National Guard to remove the snow and dump it into Long Island Sound because there was no where else to put it.

I was 15, my dad had a 1972 Ford pickup 4 ×4 with a plow, Four wheel drive vehicles weren't as common back then. I thought it was bad ass ,we were never stuck.

Not 1978 but I vaguely remember the Blizzard of '77 when i was 10 years old in Toronto, Canada. Down the highway (QEW) in Buffalo, New York the city was paralyzed from the blizzard. Haven't seen anything like it since.
