Video of the Blizzard in New England.
The massive destruction of the Blizzard of 1978 began on February 5, 1978.
It was caused by the coming together of a dense mass of low pressure off of the Carolina's coast and a Canadian high-pressure system.
The storm had tracked north and turned into a massive counter clock wise flow called a nor’easter depositing the bulk of the snowfall from the morning of February 6 until the evening of February 7.
