	What are Blizzards?
		Blizzards are extremely hazardous weather events characterized primarily by heavy snowfalls, high winds, cold temperatures and near-zero visibility.
		During the Blizzard of 1978, sustained winds of 100 mph (approximately 161 kph) were recorded in Ohio, along with a record low barometric pressure of 28.28 inches (71.83 cm).
		Blizzards tend to form in regions known for turbulent weather systems and harsh winters, such as the northeastern United States or portions of Canada, but a few have been known to form in surprising locations.

		Yes, the Blizzard of '88 was like nothing that had been seen in modern times, and for a brief time the urbanized Northeast was returned to the quiet of its rural past.
		Though 400 people died in the Blizzard of '88, it was a credit to New Englanders' hardiness and hard work that the roads and railroad tracks got cleared and the phone lines got reconnected as quickly as they did, with only horse drawn equipment available to do the job.
		The Blizzard of 1978 many of us experienced, and the blizzard of 1888 of which Twain wrote, and the snows and especially the brutal cold of this winter, bad though they may be, are ordinary conditions in Minnesota and the Dakotas and Nebraska and eastern Montana.

		The Blizzard of 1978, known to New Englanders as the Blizzard of '78, which generated blizzard conditions across the Northeast, was born February 5, 1978 with the merger of a Canadian high-pressure system and a dense mass of low pressure off the Carolina coast.
		The unusual duration of the 1978 Nor’easter was caused by the Canadian high, which forced the storm to loop east and then back toward the north.
		Thunder, lightning and hail was seen in the blizzard as it blanketed the Northeast with over three feet of snow.

		After whetting his appetite by contributing to the production of a book on the history of his hometown, as the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Blizzard of 1978 approached, he decided to combine his research, writing and interviewing skills and publish his first solo-authored book, Storm of the Century: New England's Great Blizzard of 1978.
		The argument could be made, therefore, that the Blizzard, because of New Englanders' increasing reliance on new technologies that failed during the storm, was for the region the most devastating storm in its entire history.
		The stories of the Blizzard of 1978 will fade from living memory as with the storms that came before.

	Blizzard of 1978
		The blizzard of 1978 was one of the greatest winter storms to strike Long Island in terms of total snowfall, wind, and coastal flooding.
		Announcing cancellations before the start of the storm was an unusual step taken because of the high level of confidence expressed by forecasters that there would be a major storm.
		This confidence was in stark contrast to the difficulties experienced in forecasting the previous storms that winter, including a near blizzard two weeks earlier that dropped up to 18" of snow on the island overnight...when mostly rain had been forecasted.
