Whoa, do I remember that '78 storm. I was a grad student at UConn, and they kept delaying the cancellation of classes. By the time they finally canceled them, the whole state was shut down. I was living in Ellington, about 1/2 hour away, and was stranded with about 5 bucks in my pocket. I lived in the grad dorm lounge for three days until the roads were cleared, living on coffee and bologna sandwiches. I remember people skiing on route 195 to get to where they needed to go. There was snow on the ground around my house until June.
