I would still take 1978's storm over the incredible amounts from the 2015 blitz. 40-45" of snow in one storm vs 115" seasonal...I can't remember what I had before the blitz. Skiing in May at Wachusett was amazing... so it is close. That was epic but the power of 78 and the impacts it had on my life were higher.
I do wish I had pics etc from that storm.
I don't recall that winter very well. I think I as living in an apartment in Lowell at the time and remember having to constantly move my car so the landlord could plow the driveway... I think?
