Blizzard Of 78 coverage met with site notices
The blizzard of 78 drew fresh online attention, but accesses to pages tied to the event were interrupted by technical messages from major local outlets. The Providence Journal presented a browser support notice while WCVB displayed a separate "Site Not Available" message.
Blizzard Of 78 site notice
The Providence Journal page returned a title reading "Your browser is not supported | providencejournal. com. " The page included this explanatory text: "providencejournal. com wants to ensure the best experience for all of our readers, so we built our site to take advantage of the latest technology, making it faster and easier to use. "
The Providence Journal message
That same Providence Journal notice continued: "Unfortunately, your browser is not supported. Please download one of these browsers for the best experience on providencejournal. com. " The site text framed the message as an effort to improve reader experience through newer technology.
WCVB access problem noted
Separately, one local outlet presented a single-line title: "Site Not Available. " The outlet associated with that title in the context was WCVB, with no additional explanatory text provided in the notice.
What the notices mean
Both items in the provided context were technical access notices rather than content updates. The Providence Journal notice explicitly states the site has been built to use newer technology to make the experience faster and easier, and it identifies browser compatibility as the immediate issue. The WCVB entry consisted only of the title "Site Not Available. "
Availability and next steps
At present, the contextual record contains the two site messages and their wording; it does not provide further timing, troubleshooting steps beyond the browser prompt, or additional statements from either The Providence Journal or WCVB. For readers encountering these notices, the Providence Journal text advises downloading updated browsers for the best experience, while the WCVB entry offers no additional guidance in the provided context.
In sum, the documented online items tied to the blizzard of 78 in the provided context are a Providence Journal browser-support notice—headlined "Your browser is not supported | providencejournal. com" and containing the full explanatory text quoted above—and a WCVB title labeled "Site Not Available.
