1-3 feet of snow fell from the northern
Delmarva Peninsula northward through New England on February 6-7, 1978.
Gale and hurricane force winds accompanied the storm which created blizzard
conditions over much of the Northeast and left monsterous drifts over New
England where the heaviest snow fell. In addition to significant negative
SDs associated with the storm at 500 and 850 hPa, note the strong positive
SDs assocaited with blocking in the higher latitudes over northern Manatoba
and Hudson Bay.
