Blizzard of '78, 30th anniversary special, WCVB's Chronicle
WCVB-TV (Channel 5) will take a snowy trip down memory lane to revisit the 30th anniversary of the Blizzard of 1978.The one-hour special, which airs live at 7:00 p.m. this Thursday on "Chronicle,'' will commemorate the historic storm as it barreled through the Northeast. Harvey Leonard, the only meterologist on the air through the storm, will offer a retrospective. He will look back on how he tracked the system and how meterologists today would cover the storm differently, thanks to upgrades in weather forecasting.
The special is a collaboration between News Center 5 and The Globe's archives. Viewers can share their wild blizzard tales by emailing their stories to WCVB.
