I experienced the blizzards of 1972 and 1978 here on Long Island, NY, and they certainly paralyzed the area for several days. In 1972, my brother and his wife were spending his weekend on leave from the Air Force base in NJ with my parents and me. They were stuck here, and he had to call in to his base every day, or else he would have been AWOL! I don't think they were able to leave until Wednesday. I was secretly glad they were stuck here, as we were enjoying their company!
Just wondering about the top photo - is that dated correctly? Those cars look more recent than 1978 to me.
