What??? Historic Storm???

A historic storm was the Noreaster of March 1993 where we got 4 feet of serious snow on March 15th. Two feet from the storm itself and 2 feet of lake effect as the storm moved out. The next week it was 70 degrees and all of that snow melted in no-time flooding out lakes, rivers, and sent Lake Ontario into new territory and threatened to wipe Montreal off the map. THAT was a storm.

That’s still not bigger than the Winter of ‘78 that hit the Midwest. Over 50 people died and Ohio was buried in at least 10 feet of snow. If Hurricane Katrina was a snowstorm, that’s what would have hit Ohio at the time.

Sounds like the ‘69 storm in NY

We got 4+ feet here in upstate with drifts to six.

I was 7. We had a six foot high tunnel of snow into the side entrance of our house.
