February 7 -9, 1978 Bad Blizzard

Tuesday, February 7, 1978 NO SCHOOL, BAD BLIZZARD

 

Blizard like weather today. The bad storm hit here full force last night. No school, some highways closed. Many places aren’t opening for work today. Boston, New York City, Connecticut towns and cities all are very hard-hit by the storm. Main highways in Massachusetts are closed. Airports. It was very bad down along the coast. Many homes, summer cottages destroyed. Some places washed out to sea. The Old Orchard Pier destroyed. It was awful, many lives lost during this storm. Walt didn’t go to work.

Wednesday, February 8, 1978 NO SCHOOL

 

A beautiful day but a lot of snow around. No school. It was sunny, not too cold. I did a small wash. Dried good. Bill finished plowing and shoveling. Betty and kids called. This has been a very bad storm all over New England.

It cleared off nice after the bad blizzard. Kids back-to-school. I did a wash. Clothes dried very good. I was down to Betty’s. I helped her to do her washing. She got it most all caught up. Kids were glad to get back to school today.
