The Blizzard of 1978: Photos of Boston Buried under the 27.1 Inches of Snow

3.5k Views 34 Comments

Boston was buried under 21 inches of snow on January 21, 1978. The storm came a couple of weeks before the February 6 storm, which made things worse. The heavy Snowfall clogged the narrow streets of Boston. The city was buried under mounds of snow for a few days after the storm. Boston Firefighters had to dig out hundreds of fireplugs throughout the city as part of their duties. It was one of the worst storms in the city’s history.

The storm surge rose 15.2 feet above normal low tide during the blizzard. Many homes in coastal communities in Massachusetts Bay were destroyed. Many low-lying towns experienced severe flooding. During the afternoon rush hour, the storm intensified, and people were trapped in their cars on Boston’s highways. Ninety-nine people tragically lost their lives during the storm. About $1.3 billion (at that time) worth of property was destroyed. A state of martial law was declared, and vehicular traffic was banned for several days. The National Guard used boats to rescue people from the highways in flooded areas. For days, heavy machinery, dump trucks, and tow trucks were used to dig out streets and remove abandoned cars.

Boston saw another storm in which 27.1 inches of Snowfall over 32 hours from Monday morning, February 6, to the evening of Tuesday, February 7. The storm killed about 100 people, injured 4,500 others, and caused more than $500 million in damage in the Northeast.

Below are some photos that document both blizzards.

  5. I was at Boston College (either in Fulton or Gasson) that afternoon and the building emptied out by mid-afternoon. I suspect that I was the only person in the building. There was a television running so I could get an idea as to what was happening outside. So I stayed there overnight, the T was down (it would be for several weeks), and I walked the 5 miles back to Waban. There was about five feet of snow on the sidewalks so I had to walk on the road. There was very little traffic.

    I was freezing along the way but I made it home. I think that we didn’t have power for the next couple of weeks and there was a ban on driving except for emergency vehicles, hospital workers and similar. Some people used skis to travel around. It was a surreal time.

    The electrification and dependence on external power to run homes is a drastic difference from back then when homes could function perfectly fine without power.
