from Wikipedia:
The Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978[1][2] was a catastrophic, historic nor’easter that struck New England, New Jersey, and the New York metropolitan area. The “Blizzard of ’78” formed on Sunday, February 5, 1978, and broke up on February 7.[3] The storm was primarily known as “Storm Larry” in Connecticut, following the local convention promoted by the Travelers Weather Service on television and radio stations there.[4] Snow fell mostly from Monday morning, February 6, to the evening of Tuesday, February 7. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts were hit especially hard by this storm.

Mark barely made it back to Cambridge from his job in Acton. Despite several calls from Karen suggesting that he leave early, Mark waited until 3pm to leave for the 20 mile trip home. When he got to the top of the Belmont Hill on Rte 2 nothing could be seen of Cambridge or the towers of Boston. Complete whiteout.
