The Blizzard of 1978 (more commonly known in New England as "Blizzard of '78") was a severe Nor'easter that affected the New England area of the United States, and to a lesser but still significant extent the New York metropolitan area.
Because of this high pressure area, the blizzard was effectively trapped south of the New England coast, causing the heaviest bands of snow to loop continuously across the area.
The Blizzard of '78 eventually gave birth to a tradition in Southern New England known as the "bread and milk runs".
February 6 and 7 mark the 25th Anniversary of the Blizzard of '78.
Arguably the Commonwealth's "Storm of the Century," the blizzard dumped 27.1 inches of snow on Boston, paralyzing the city and surrounding suburbs for a week.
The Blizzard of '78 was also an initiation for Joe Pelczarski, CZM's emergency management expert, who performed his first storm damage assessments as a rookie with the Division of Marine Fisheries.
