I’m in Providence, RI and was only 3 in 1978 but listened to stories of the blizzard of ‘78 my entire life. I’ve lived through some pretty major storms in my teens and adulthood. This blizzard has officially passed the blizzard of ‘78 in sheer snowfall totals. Over 32” officially with drifts over 40”. The state is shut down today and they are already cancelling everything tomorrow and potential into Wed.
Hows the rest of the New Englanders and Tri State BBI’ers holding up?!
Our plow guy just got stuck in the driveway. CMO wants everyone in tomorrow. Everything is peachy.
Family got 24"+ in Westchester and Brooklyn.
I remember 1978. I was living on the Upper West Side and for days walking the sidewalks with 5 feet of snow piled up on each side of you.

I’m west of NH in Milford and it looks like we lucked out comparatively. 18”-20” I believe.
32” out in Providence is insane!

Where are u in northern dutchess? I had an A Frame on 5 acres in stanfordville when I lived in NY. Was a bitch in the winter but also like a winter wonderland. My German shepherd’s absolutely loved it.

10-12". Really decreases as you go due north from here. Albany hardly got anything. It was worse to the south and east.

Rhinebeck - not far from Stanfordville. I've got a couple of friends over there.
Could have been worse like 78's or the 2013 of 36 inches we had

I’m about the same in Trumbull, although I thought I was done with snow removal at 3:30, go in for a work call then the town plow came and left a nice 3/4” of thick crap at the end of my driveway. Just got back in from round 3, cleaning up his little gift to me…

Stanfordville?! Dang! The population is about 100 there!
I grew up on a farm on Bangall Amenia Road. Was close to the edge of going to Pine Plains schools, but went to Webutuck.

East of the river checking in. About the same, maybe 12 inches with crazy drifts
It started in early Nov. (never had that) and we've had freezing temps every month since. We try to protect our tropical and semi tropical plants, but don't know if a lot of them are going to survive this winter.

sounds a lot worse north and east of New Haven. Still took a ton of work from snowblower and shoveling to clear our driveway/walkwats and that of my in laws.

Haha yup I just got in from re-shoveling the front of my driveway and my in laws across the street. Was warm enough this afternoon for some of it to turn to slush, wanted to move as much as possible before it turns to ice.
My back has had quite enough for the day…
And now the weather forecast is for several more bouts of snow over the next week.
Ugh

Yep, I moved there as an Adult from Ulster County . Lived 1/2 mile from the millbrook winery on ernest road.
Been in AZ/CA for the last 15 yrs
I remember '78 here in Rockland I was 10. Very similar to this year with 2 blizzards about 2-3 weeks apart. We lucked out, my brother's Bar Mitzvah fell the week in between the storms.
Wow, you guys are listing facts and stats that have not been seen in 50 years. Stay safe everyone.
I'm in southern Delaware now near the coast we got 18" of heavy wet snow it was a bitch shoveling my driveway. By the way, the snow removal here is a disgrace, the towns have no idea what they are doing.
