My great aunt had a dr's appt in the city, they were driving on Genessee when they got caught in the storm. A bus was going out around and picking up people and taking them to Salvatore's. They got to stay there for the night and got a really nice meal.
@mjshannonct71 - umm you are wrong, the initial forecast even when it started was 2 to 4 inches, and those days the weatherman on TV used chalkboards.. so no the Media DID NOT warn anyone "2-4 days in advance" about a "large storm", that is hogwash :(
I was working outside of Boston when the storm hit late in the day.We were let out of work early (10 PM.), and already some cars in the parking lot were drifted over.I was carpooling at the time and it took us over 9 hours to go 20 miles to where our cars were parked! Took me 3 more hours to drive the 8 miles to home. When I finally got home the phone was ringing, It was my boss asking me if I was coming into work that day !
I was born in '78, but I didn't get to here this story untill years later from fam that lived up in various parts of Connecticut, Mattapan, New Bedford, Dorchester, Brownsville area.
I lived in southeast CT when the blizzard hit. I disagree with some of the people saying the forecasters missed the severity of the storm. The forecasters were predicting this nor'easter 3-4 days in advance with one forecaster saying the low off the Virginia coast would 'explode'. Forecasted snow amounts were up to 2 feet, which fell short in some areas of SE Mass. Still a good forecast. I worked for the public works dept. in my hometown and we were warned in advance and well prepared.
love mac I movie !!!!!!!! should have used more images and voice overs as therealOTim stated, also some more audio background, dont use foreboding or any of the standard sounds like you did in the intro,... try downloading from itunes you can obtain any type of sound or music, still a great effort !!!
Since you did this 3.5 years ago I'm hoping you've already realized this BUT - You could take a lesson from Ken Burns. Cut down on your headshot time. Watching people talk is boring (and some of the narrative here is pretty dry and redundant), so use their narrative in voice-overs and use TONS of images. Great subject, BTW.
Few Boston TV and radio weathercasters had any idea about hos big the storm was.
The late Don Kent of WBZ-TV Channel 4, the morning of February 6th, predicted a little more than a foot of snow. He was way off, but no one else that morning was predicting more than a couple of inches.
I had heard that over 100 people died of carbon monoxide poisoning from keeping the engines of their cars on while trapped along Route 128, a major expressway circling Boston.
here in Northern Indiana,it was the same way......finally got out to the road just get to a snowmobile path.......to Lincolnway.....it was wide open and everyone was heading to the store ,me I went for cigarettes and then walked to my sisters home in town.......not too bright of me!......never again want to see that much snow.
I lived in a 3 story building and the snow was drifted to the top, all the side streets between the houses were 15 feet, I had to push the door open to get out,I made alot of Money shoveling that week after,
i was 11 living in dorchester my parents had a triple decker me and my freinds would jump off the second and third floor porches into the snow one of my freinds got a car antenna stuck in his arm and needed stitches that was the end of that.
Wow, what a classic. The Blizzard of '78, Storm Larry, was a monster. I was 8 years old and I remember it quite well, though not all of the details. I'd like to get a copy of this documentary.
It was my Senior year of High School, we were off for about a week and a half, if I remember correctly, we had to give up our Spring vacation to make up the time. I remember driving around the first night with my brother and my future sister-in-law in his VW bug smoking a joint and sliding all over the place...good times!
I want this to happen this year! this looks like so mutch fun! Think of all the great forts and sleding! 4 feet of snow, and building! imagine this: Good moarning New England. today is monday, Decemer 13th, 2010, and it apears that all of new england is covered in 4 feet of snow. Schools are clossed and will most like not open untill after Chrismas vacation. Snow plows strugle to clear barley any streats. kids are bulding huge forts and having epic snowball fights!
OMG, I lived at Fenway Park, what a frosty MESS! Cross country skiing to get a loaf of bread, no electricity (no heat) for 18 hours!!! ONLY ambulances on Beacon St in Brookline. Got stuck an entire week in a blizzard?!? in DC in the early 80's before they replaced their snow removal equipment ... what wouldn't even cancel school in Beantown shut down the nation's capitol for a WEEK! : ^ ) Left NE in 80 ...
What I rember most is the lightning with huge snow flakes falling. Also watching pigeons flying from roof top to roof top and missing their mark and slamming into the wall. weird!
oh srry you fuckin dildo face....go fuck your self..hey theres A GOOD IDEA...I burn ppl like you ...your mom said your a fucking retard. she told me when i fucked her, and your dad agreed as he licked my asshole
'chase' makes a creative one yet again. He takes the most obnoxious teenage slang and rearranges the words, never saw that one before.
Why don't you simply obey my words that were originally meant to save you from being humiliated!? Better off...get off youtube! Your a string of hay in a haystack. Nobody wants to read your unoriginal teenage cretin spews of hate. Its just old and unoriginal. what are you doing watching this video? Wouldn't you say its a little too sophisticated for you?
umm better yet, you can go fuck yourself! suck my dick you little bitch. go stick a spikey 2 foot dildo up your asshole because everyone knows you like that stuff. and what the hell, "beans"? have you put those in your asshole too? i guess its ok because you'll just shit them out and eat them later and drink my cum when you suck my dick
My sisters said that she remembers this storm very well! They were 12 and 14 when this happened, and I was 3. She said there was so much snow, they dug a tunnel from one side of the street to the other. Now that's more than alot of damn snow! WOW!
I grew up in Attleboro, MA right on the RI line. When the Blizzard of 78 hit my girlfriend spent the duration with me. I had a Coachman Kingsman Camper in my parents back yard. We had a blast all through the storm. We spent 3 days locked up in the camper listening to Elvis & John Denver 8track cassets. When I finally tried to open the door, I had push real hard to get it opened. The first thing I saw, was our neighbors swing set. I could only see the top bar, the rest was buried in snow.
Although some said there was up to 55" of snow, this was a lot of bunk. The actual highest amount was 38". It turned out that if accumulations were "inflated" enough, then federal aid would come in. This what happened in Rhode Island. The max was 38", but the town of Woonsocket claimed 55"(not true!!) to get federal aid.Either way it was a devastating storm with very high tides & high winds.
I was 7 and I remember it was a really bad storm. What I remember the most is thinking NO SCHOOL YEAH!! I remember we walked every where there were no buses or cabs store shelves were empty. Our moms were talking to neighbors they never spoke to before. We lived in Roxbury behind Northeastern University. All of us were in our full-body snow suits. The snow was literally waist deep in some places. We were children so my memory wasn't about how devastating it was. My memory is how much fun we had.
Most People today don't remember this. I was 12 years old when this happened. It was before the days of 4 will drive and snow blowers. It was before the days of big super markets. School in my town in Connecticut was closed for 3 days. I will never forget it.
To those why say "why do they say snow stom" this is because of the Boston Accent. Snow stom, paak th' caa in Haavid Yaad, I live in a three decka, my guhlfriend lives in Ruhveeah...
I'm in New Orleans now. I moved south because I couldn't take the cold. Down here, the accents are "yat," which is New Orleanese for "townie." Accents are mostly Brooklyn, Bronx and New Jersey accents with the occasional Roslindale or East Boston - revere accent thrown in. All delivered through a Southern drawl, of course.
Yes!!! When my partner and I moved down here in '00 he noticed a tour guide in Da Frentch Quattah say in what he thought was a perfect Roslindale accent: "And take a good look at awl this Noo Awlins AH-kitectcha!"
Mmmmmm. coldest on record I've seen for Minnesota, NOt MINNEAPOLIS, is ~60F. Michigan's record is -51 and that is in the center of the upper Lower Penninsula, unofficially it hit at least -54F. The Keweenaw Penninsula in the UP has gotten over 300-inches of snow, same as the Tug Plateau in NY near Buffalo. Coldest on record in Detroit proper is -21F or so, I forget but have the info.
MY husband had to go to Portland the day the storm started- our son was 3 months old at the time. He had me go to my parents house, because he didn't want me stranded in the apartment with the baby. There had been a big snow storm a few days previously, and so we thought this one might be big as well. It certainly WAS big!! My husband was one of the last cars out of Massachusetts before they closed the freeways. Up in Portland, they got next to nothing, but he was stuck up there for a week!
Yeah, in Minnesota it has hit -60F and -62F without windchill, in Michigan's lower penninsula it hit -51F officially and -54F unofficially without windchill, in Detroit it was -19 or 20F or so with -60F windchill. Much less snow in Detroit because of its somewhat protected location, but -20F's in suburbs and -30F's not too far away. Keewanaw Penninsula in the UP can get over 300-inches of snow per year, and so can the Tug (?) Plateau in NY near Buffalo.
Rockport, being way out on a peninsula, was completely isolated after the storm. I remember having to subsist on canned vegetables and golden retriever meat for a week (at least).
I lived in Cambridge Ma. and worked at Stop and Shop a bunch of us went out for a few drinks after work.The bar was in a hotel near the store. I walked home because i only lived less than a half mile away.The other guys i worked with had to stay in the hotel for 4 days. A storm I'll nrver forget.
My family lived in Swampscott MA at the the time- I loved it, i was 10 years old, snow was everywhere. We had snow drifts that reached the second floor of the house.
My Dda was stuck at work in Danvers for a week, which sucked a bit..
I recall that when the snow finally stopped,there was a deep freeze that made all of the snowdrifts hard as rock,I walked up a 10-15 footer and it fell in but luckily the sides didn't collapse or ..??? Wasn't there also an incident where folks were trapped inside the Garden during the Beanpot?
I was 19 years old...missed over a week of college...remembered standing on top of the snow drifts in my yard on top of the cars, which you couldn't even see. But, I got a greater chance to bond with my family. I'd walk with my mother and sister to the center of town...although my dad, was stuck in Maine.
The thing I remembered the most was seeing Mike Dukakis in his different sweaters every day, instead of his suit and tie, and that he was stuck at the State House.
i was 12 years old, living in shelton CT..not to far from Trumbull. I remember onlyhaving 8 days of school in all of February. Didn't have summer vacation until mid July.
Sorry I was referring to the blizzard of 77 in Buffalo!
