Nobody called it the “ice storm of ’78”. It was always called “Blizzard of ’78”. I remember having to dig a tunnel in the snow so that our miniature Cocker Spaniel could go outside to “do her business”. (NH)
the funnies are not a reliable source of information. According to wikipedia:
Two major blizzards occurred in the United States in the year 1978: The Great Blizzard of 1978, in parts of the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes, January 25–27. The Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978, in greater New York City and New England, February 5–8.

I actually remember the storm of ’78. The entire state of Delaware shut down.

I remember shoveling a path so that our toy Poodle could do her business.

I’m thinking that this particular story is a rerun from about 25-30 years ago.
