Boskone Blizzard

With a convention in the snowiest time of a New England winter, Boskone committees traditionally fret over the possibility of a major blizzard closing Boskone down. While there have been some close calls, none has -- so far -- succeeded.

Boskone	Date	Blizzard
Boskone 15	February 6-7, 1978	This was one of the worst blizzards in Boston history, closing the whole eastern part of the state for most of a week. Luckily for Boskone, restrictions were lifted before the convention began.
Boskone 33	February 16 and 18, 1996	Heavy snowfalls on both Friday and Sunday
Boskone 37	February 18, 2000	8" of snow on Friday
Boskone 40	February 16-17, 2003	There was 27" of snow starting late Sunday and continuing all Monday. Around fifty out-of-town members were stranded at the hotel and held their own convention, Snokone.
