I remember, for good reason, the 1st Blizzard of 78.. our first son was born on 1/21/78. We lived in Saugus Ma. at the time.. the BIG ONE followed a few weeks later. But, at the time it was a historical storm in New England.

Januray 19-20, 1978

from webpage http://www.northshorewx.com/19780120.asp

"The storm was significant over a wide area of the northeast. Philadelphia accumulated 13 inches of snow and the 21.5 inches of snow that fell on Boston on January 20 broke previous records as the greatest 24 hour snowfall in the city's history. It was to be a short lived record that was eclipsed less than three weeks later by the Blizzard of 1978."
