Same here. Basically that whole 78 winter for me too.
A couple weeks before the blizzard of 78, we had a big one too..a good 12 plus incher hit. Our am radio station that we listened to(still listen to it today tooWTIC 1080 am) which used the “travelers weather service” back then, used to name the storms(along with a local TV station WFSB 3), and the storm before the blizzard was storm Jerry, and then the blizzard was storm Larry. I’m pretty sure it was a CT thing, but it was cool when you’re a young kid.
