Henry Referenced the Philly area in winter 1978. I was 9 at the time and we used to play street hockey all the time. The roads couldn’t get plowed frequently enough so you basically had this 3-4″ packed snow on top of the street that lasted for at least a few weeks. Thankful back then for having a short driveway to shovel!!!
I remember that year as well, was living north of Philly at the time.
I was 24 at the time and living in the mountains of SW PA…that was a nasty set of storms…the first brought 18” ,the second one was a good 12” dump and the last blessed us with 16”….this all happened from early January I think maybe the 10th and in a wave for the balance of the storms every 4 or 5 days…by the time February broke there was close to 4’ on the unshoveled areas…those were the days…
