Who has pictures of the Nor’easter blizzard of february 1969: 42 inches of snow, National Guard took a week to dig us out. The blizzard began on the last week of vacation; we had a total of 2 weeks of vacation, a week of very special snow fun.
Does anyone have photos of 1969 February blizzard? We were snow bound for 1 week. National Guard stayed in the schools and dug us out?. Week before was Feb vacation; children had another week to play in the snow! J. Moginot

The “Blizzard of ’78 was the only storm after I was born (1950) where the State was pretty much closed down for a week. I grew up in Danvers.
