Yeah 78 was much longer lasting, especially the aftermath! No school for 5 days after. One thing I'll say every time I mention that storm... the totals were WAY off in some areas. I had measurements from our house in Granby, my grandfather from the utility company in Simsbury and others. We had 28 inches in Granby and was told 25 in Simsbury. Official totals are far less... and I don't believe them
