The Northeastern United States Blizzard of 1978 stands out as a catastrophic nor’easter that swept through New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the New York metropolitan area, leaving a historic impact.
This powerful storm emerged on Sunday, February 5, 1978, and persisted until February 7.
Boston faced an unprecedented snowfall, registering a record-breaking 27.1 inches (69 cm), while Providence also set a record with 27.6 inches (70 cm).
Atlantic City witnessed its all-time storm accumulation of 20.1 inches (51 cm). In Chester County, two suburban towns near Philadelphia experienced 20.2 inches (51 cm) of snow, and the City of Philadelphia received 16.0 inches (41 cm).

That's when the media was running with the "we're entering a new ice age" narrative...
Now's it's the complete opposite.

All those POS 1970s GMs and Fords were broken down on the interstate before the first flake of snow fell.

I do remember that living in Manhattan. My job was within walking distance, but it was like a vacation of snow days.

I reckon you're a tad bit older than me then. I was in fourth grade in east Kentucky in early '78. Lots of snow already on the ground already and then this thing sneaked in from the east after it socked y'all and laid another 27 inches on us.
I enjoyed missing school for part of January, nearly all of February, and a portion of March that year due to the snow. I did NOT like making up those snow days well into the middle of June though. I've hated that white stuff ever since!

Looks like global warming got here just in time!

In the early sixties, Delmont Village had an underground bomb shelter. Some company was selling bomb shelters and the one that is underground at Delmont Village was a display model. I was a little kid when they built that shelter and me and some friends went down in the shelter to see what it was all about. It only had a couple of small rooms and I don't remember seeing any bathroom. Being a kid in the third grade, I never realized how close we came to having a war. I remember the Cuban missel crisis and how we had to get under our desks. We also had drills where cars would pick us up at school and drive us to Ryan airport. I thought all of that was fun because I never realized how close we came to war. The stores all had posters of the Russian leader at the time saying We Will Bury You. I remember the Russian leaders name. NK were his initials but I'm not going to try to spell his name.

Nikita Khrushchev
At the time, I was in HS in Enid, Oklahoma right next to Vance Airforce Base where my father worked. The military, even at a training base was very much on edge.
The scariest part I learned years later that JFK was taking "vitamins" provided by a guy known as "Dr. Feelgood." The "vitamins" were amphetamines.
