The Blizzard of 1978

Traverse City was buried by a blizzard in ’78 of epic proportions. The same blizzard hit my home town (Grand Rapids). My friends and I hollowed out a snow drift that was big enough to handle furniture. I still remember eating cereal inside the drift.

This storm was huge. At the time I had no idea that it would turn out to be a unique weather event. I’ve been waiting for another storm like this for 25 years.

For you amateur weather buffs, check out the meteorlogical details, thanks to the Detroit NWS.
