I remember that one vaguely but the 1993 blizzard or the April 1991 were quite intense as well.

nowhere special
I was at work at night at UPS when the blizzard of 78 hit. I was barely able to get home. UPS here shut down for 2 days.

My area wasn't hit as bad as new jersey was. We probably could have worked. The second day was more a clean up than anything. I was a helper after the 2 days and working local sort at the time. It was the most screwed up day of work I have experienced yet.
I worked 2 hours,that day. Took me 4 to get home...lol

Our center was never shut down for snow or cold weather in the 30 years I worked and we had some big time storms over the years. If Minneapolis got our feeders through we went out. There were probably 2 days over the 30 years that they couldn't get through because the State Patrol had totally shut the roads down leading north.
My niece goes to college in Buffalo, she said in the city not to bad, A friend lives 2 miles outside of Pemberton and got two inches. In fact there was 6 foot in places, 120 miles of I90 shut down 7 dead, mostly from heart attacks, and tonight they expect 2 to 3 more feet.The reports of 6' were exaggerated---official totals were 60" or less in areas to the south of Buffalo. The city itself escaped the brunt of the storm.
Lake effect snow is not like a typical snowstorm. It could be snowing 3-5"/hour in one location and just be cloudy 5 miles away. The plume of snow shifts depending on how the wind is blowing off the open water.
Would anyone who lives in Buffalo actually admit that they were from Buffalo?
We have friends,that were supposed to leave for New York,For a wine ...long get away weekend. Doesn't look good,for them!

Yes. I was a junior in high school.
I remember a yr in the seventies, my Dad and I worked at the same place, and we lived in PA, on Lake Erie, and just had to go to work that day. That work ethic thing. We were driving down rt 5, and the snow was like an 8 ft wall, plowed with one lane. We were in a 64 dodge dart, and I said what happens if someone comes the other way??????? He said dont worry no one is going to work today, or anywhere. Loved that guy. And I felt safe with my Daddy. But wtf, lets stay home like everyone else. Didnt want to hear it.
Once you get there and got a motel, you got a long weekend. But problem is hotels only have enough food left for 2 days I heard this am, so that is now probably down to 1 day. And its only a 20 miles stretch thats totally snowed in.

I'm not a NY guy. That was a picture from the news.
If you can get,there!
Just heard on the news. Another 2-3 feet possible for tomorrow. They cant figure out the actual snow total. The people that measure it,cant get out to measure it!...Holy crap!

I do remember Thanksgiving, 80 something. Dinner was at my house, no one can get there. Peanut butter and crackers. I had the house, everyone else the food.
