What do you remember from the Blizzard of '78?

February 2008 marks thirty years since a huge storm buried New Hampshire and neighboring states in snow for more than a week. Even by Granite State standards it was no ordinary storm - roads, schools and businesses shut down, sometimes up to a week. Some residents recall taking twenty minutes or more to walk a half a block. And high winds led to millions of dollars in property damage.

The Exchange is going to look back at the blizzard in an upcoming show, and we'd like your help. Were you living in New England during the blizzard of '78? How did you weather the storm? Do you have a favorite (or not-so-favorite) memory of the blizzard? Share your insights below.
