Hi Bruce & Dan,
I lived in Marlborough (MA) at the time. Just made it home from Waltham
after deciding to leave work early. One of the last cars to make it into my
apt. complex lot. My trusty 2WD stick Gremlin passed lots of "muscle" cars
who couldn't make it up the various Rt. 20 hills.
Next morning the parking lot (usually packed with 50 or so cars) was a white
field sporting a nice crop of radio antennas.
All the residents spent the day having a dig-out party.
One at a time, each car was dug out by 20-30 guys and gals. Then the freed
car was pushed up the grade and parked in a line on the street.
At the end of the day, and we all drove back into the now-cleared lot.
Moved to So. Cal. 3 years later. Had enough driving the old CB-750 in the
rain and snow behind a Windjammer, Hippo-Hands, and a jump-suit.
Dana

February 6, New England was brought to a standstill in the
infamous Blizzard Of ' 78, which actually saw tens of thousands of vehicles
left stranded on I 95 throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island, and probably
other states .

Bruce,
My wife, Joanie, was stuck in a bowling alley for two days during this
storm.
This was near Boston. She made the decision to go somewhere else after that
ordeal. Came to CA for a training session in Sep. 78 and never left - except
to visit. A lot of research into the current weather precedes each visit to
her family.
