Blizzard Babies

This headline caught my eye. It sounds pretty funny. At first I pictured babies being immaculately conceived out of snow banks. But then of course I realized what it meant.
Anyone out there born in November 1978?


Are you a Blizzard of '78 baby?
The Blizzard of ’78 left millions of New Englanders trapped in their homes for up to five days. Widespread power outages led to candles, unavoidable romance, and -- nine months later -- a bevy of blizzard babies.

As the Boston Globe prepares for its 30th anniversary coverage of the storm, we want to hear from people born in November 1978 who can thank the blizzard for their birthday.
