Top Snowstorm Memories

Wow! I went for a walk around my apartment complex a little while ago to check out the conditions and experience the storm once again before the snow stopped. I was amazed at how much deeper the snow and snowdrifts were than they were around 2 PM when I took the photos on a previous post. I will be out in the morning to get some more photos. While walking, I contemplated where this storm ranks with other snow storms I have witnessed. Here's the list I came up with:

1) Great Blizzard of 1978 (26 January 1978). This storm is in a class by itself. Unfortunately, I was just shy of 4 at the time and so have very limited memory of it. However, one of my earliest memories was sledding down a huge drift (10-15 feet deep) created by this storm in the barnyard. I sometimes find myself wishing for another storm like this one, but the conditions that came together to produce this storm are extremely rare.

2) President's Day Storm II (15 to 18 February 2003). About 22" at my apartment in Greenbelt, MD (Washington DC suburb).

3) Blizzard of 1996 (6 to 8 January 1996). I awoke on the morning of Sunday, January 7 to find that the impact expected from this storm in NW Ohio had been drastically underestimated. The first day of classes for the quarter at Cedarville, scheduled for the next day, was cancelled because it was virtually impossible to return to campus. This was the second snowstorm of about a foot during a very, very memorable Christmas break. Blizzard warnings were issued for both storms.

4) Blizzard of 2007 (TODAY!)

5) Snowstorm of 24 February 1990. Only about 4" fell in this storm, but strong winds made it memorable. I was in Lima for high school music competition on this day, and we were not allowed to return home and ended up spending the night in a hotel there.

Hey Matt,

Luckly you guys live in apartment buildings and dont have to shovel your driveway! Isnt this Awesome! I had to take a walk around the hospital after work on tuesday to soak it all in. Unfortunately i had to sleep at the hosptital due to the blizzard! I wanted to try to trek the 7 miles home...just to say i walked 7 miles in a blizzard...but thought better of it!

I was only 1 year old during the blizzard of 78..so i dont remember anything of it. But i bet it was cool!

The almost blizzard of 1999 here in Lafayette, IN was pretty cool. 16 inches fell, but i think there wasnt quite the wind as this one. Hence no blizzard warnings issued.

Maybe i missed it, but do you have any links to your favorite sites for radar maps and weather forecasts?

Enjoy the snow! Loved the post!
