The onset rates were tremendous!  The winds will high-end, plus the general public was out in mass, and there was a sense by the public that it was being over-blown.  The onset of heavy heavy snow was like a curtain, making travel almost impossible shortly after onset!    There is a couple of great books out there that document the event, plus the Kocin book!  WBZ produced a great documentary about it; probably still out there some where.

Yeah...  look, as recently as 2008, there was something like 6-10" of busting positive snow some random Tuesday afternoon up here over interior/eastern zones, and what transpire on the grid-locked roads, serious caused a 5 hour commute for some people trying to drive 15 miles.  It was a dense burst of 3"/hr rates, into one of those micro-transient cultural vibes of obliviousness like you described was going on with 1978's morning hours of laissez-faire coffee and crumpet business as usual attitudes.

This shit happens.  You dump a foot in 2.5 hours onto an incredulous, (head) dense demographic ... you're fucked.   1978 did 20-30 in 18 hours really

Blizzard for a bunch of us.. winds crank

[CT Rain]

Some hellacious winds on this thing. Looks like a well mixed boundary layer up to 900ish on a few of the models with 60-65 knots up there at least.

Could be an unusually windy one.

I don't know it looks ugly, need to close off the eastern eye wall and deal with the dry air entrainment.

One thing though, that won't be all snow It will start off as rain/mix. Some of that actually will be sleet not pure snow.
