Dr Louis Uccellini, current Director NWS, returns to Blue Hill Observatory as the Keynote Speaker for our "78 Blizzard Event.

He along with Paul Kocin have written two books documenting major East Coast snowstorms. He will discuss such topics as phasing of the jet streams as a driver for such major storms and contrast and compare the 1978 and 2016 events and the forecasting strides that have been made over the intervening years. 

 

For many New England weather enthusiasts the '78 Blizzard was The weather event of their lifetime. If you are too young to remember this storm which essentially shut down much of southern and central New England for one week, come and learn about this remarkable storm for the East Coast snowstorm expert!
