43 Years Ago Today Marks The Blizzard Of 1978
I find it slightly hard to believe but 43 years ago today marks the blizzard of 1978. The statistics surrounding the storm alone are staggering. It began February 6 and ended February 8 in Maine and left a trail of destruction.
In Massachusetts route 128 became a parking lot. Thousands of people were stranded. It was responsible for around 100 deaths, thousands of injuries, and the destruction of at least 2000 homes and damage to well over 10,000.

This blizzard destroyed the well-known Old Orchard Beach pier. The pounding waves and highlands were too much for the old pier to withstand. Several homes along shore were damaged or destroyed.
