I was about to turn 12, and we lived in Lynnfield, MA at the time. My mother had the unfortunate timing of having surgery the weekend before the blizzard, so she was pretty much trapped at Union Hospital in Lynn. The drifts outside my house were so big that my sister and I were jumping off the porch into them...head first!!
At least a couple times that week we walked down to the local store (Worthens Market in Lynnfield Center) to get necessary supplies. Main St was plowed, but barely passable by car. We had no school Monday-Friday.
I think it was on the Friday that my mother got released from the hospital. We got in the car and headed up to 128, which was still closed. We explained to the nice National Guard guys where we were going, and we went on our way.
