Thirty years ago this week the Northeast experienced one of the most powerful blizzards in memory: snow up to four feet, lines of abandoned cars, lives lost and massive damage to the coast. But for some, the storm was a time of fun… days off work and school, unscheduled bonding, adventures and family fun. We’ll talk with Granite Staters about their memories and hear your stories too.

Guest

• John Clayton, Senior Reporter and columnist for the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News and author of six books on New Hampshire

We'll also hear from

• Neal Strauss, Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass.
• Don Kent, longtime weatherman for WBZ-TV in Boston who now lives in Laconia. Don was on the air for three days during the Blizzard of ’78
• John Parsons, a secondary school teacher living in Durham
• Bill Cavanaugh, who was part of a Coast Guard rescue mission during the blizzard to save the Pilot Boat Can-Do and check on the oil tanker Global Hope that ran aground in Gloucester Harbor. Later a book would be written about their experiences called “Ten Hours Until Dawn”.
