Boston Feels The Wrath In 1978

The start of this storm led people to believe that it was nothing but faulty forecasting. Too bad that was the last thing it was as thousands of people were forced to take refuge. The snow stood as tall as three feet!

“Hurricane-force winds and whiteout conditions took them by surprise,” History.com wrote. “The storm pummeled gridlocked highways, forcing drivers and passengers to abandon their cars or be buried along with them. Massive snowdrifts trapped families in their homes and workers in their offices. An estimated 100 people perished in this crushing nor’easter.”
