[Lion in Winter]

And it went from being a "winter-hurricane" on the Gulf, then, right-up into the Appalachian and dropped temperatures to sub-zero ranges ... caused record snow fall there and incredible ice stroms all over the Carolinas... went out to sea again and killed folks at sea and along the East coast.

There was a movie made about it not too long ago.

Wish somebody would post some arial pictures of that monster.

Here's your 1993 Superstorm satellite view.

I remember that '93 storm. In central Virginia we got 12 or 13 inches of snow. Over in the mountains past Roanoke, more toward Bristol and over into WV and TN, they got more like four feet. The Interstates were closed and travelers stranded for days. And yet, compared to the coasts and to the folks that got hit by ice storms, a foot of snow meant we got off lucky.

Then there were the back-to-back 12" snows that hit Richmond in '96. I was stuck in my apartment for two days until four maintenance guys helped me get my pickup out of the sloped parking space I'd had to move into, when somebody swiped the nice level one I'd carefully cleared off. :)
