Likely youi are thinking of the Blizzard or ‘93 that nailed the whole east coast.
It was considered the biggest storm on record as more than half the people in the US were affected by it.
1993 Storm of the Century

It also hit March 15.
Yes, I think that was the one! 1993. Makes sense because my youngest son would have been barely two and the main reason my wife was upset with me not getting home was that she was “all alone changing the diapers” while I gallivanted around the city eating oysters and having a jolly old time.
My son graduated from Auburn two weeks after that storm and snow was still along the banks and shady places on our way up there.
