You said that so well! I’m proud to know you!
I still remember SnowJam '82 and the Blizzard of '93 - both of those were memorable, SnowJam particularly so because it hit at 3:00 p.m. and we had the same scene of hundreds of abandoned cars on the freeways. In January 2011 (I think it was) we had ice on the ground for almost a week, but iirc it did not hit in prime time, so to speak.
1973 was also very exciting. There were many trees down from the ice, and my husband-to-be had snow tires on his car (from living in Western VA) and brought provisions to my parents who could not get out of their street.
