Worst snow storm you've experienced?

[True Dough]

This photo is from North Dakota, 1966.




Anything close to that?

[LuckyCharms]

1. This one, I think. 2020. 40 inches? (pics)

My poor little battery powered snow blower didn't stand a chance.

My friend had a truck and a big snowblower. He and his wife came over to help me out. The pull cord on his snowblower was broken, and he needed an extension cord in order to start it. I had a 100 foot cord on a reel, and had to slide it over the snow on an overturned garbage can lid to his wife, because i couldn't get to her.

It took me two hours to shovel out a square area in the backyard so the dog had a place to pee.

[True Dough]

5. Looks like a whole lot of exertion

You would have needed your cookie fuel that day, Lucky!

[LuckyCharms]

7. The worst part was....

Trudging out to the furnace vent which comes out the foundation in the back of the house. I wanted to make sure I cleared the snow from the vent.

I actually got stuck, and legitimately thought I was going to have a heart attack because I was sucking wind so hard. You almost had to swim through that stuff.

[Ritabert]

2. Great Blizzard of '78 in Massachusetts

If you didn't leave for home by noon you didn't get home. I got the last trolley out of Kenmore Square and walked the last 5 blocks into 50 mph winds. I called my husband and told him to get moving or he wasn't going to get home. He had a standard shift truck and kept driving even if it required shifting into neutral and racing the engine to keep the spark plugs and carburetor from icing up. He made it.

My brother-in-law had to abandon his car on 128 along with many others and hiked out to a church which was taking people in. He was there for days. Luckily we didn't lose power.

[yorkster]

4. Wow. Just saw yours after finishing mine

I forgot what the snow totals were, but it was an amazing storm.

[Ritabert]

11. We got 4 feet in a Boston suburb

We spent two days shoveling out the sidewalk and car.

[Ritabert]

18. I remember the sinking of the SS Peter Stuyvestant during the blizzard

https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2017/02/22/ss-stuyvesant-a-casualty-of-the-blizzard-of-78-leaves-its-watery-grave/

[yorkster]

24. I had forgotten about that. .

[Ritabert]

32. I hear they left it there on the bottom.

Somebody said it might have been raised in 2017 but I'm still looking for a source on that.

[intheflow]

35. It was the day of my father's memorial service.

The Staties closed the Pike, but my dad’s closest friends took it from all over the northeast anyway and somehow made it to the service. We got stuck in a snow bank trying to go home after. I was 14 and don’t remember anything else from the day.

[Ritabert]

45. The Pike was just very windy and the snow kept blowing up onto the engine

Eventually it clogged up the road too. My husband was lucky to make it home from Natick.

[mitch96]

48. The whole North East got clobbered with that one. The '77-'78 winters are what drove me to Florida...nt

[Ritabert]

50. LOL! I hear you.

[Eugene]

52. Boston: Our side street was snowed in for more than a week.

The nearest supermarket was open about 2.5 miles away. As the car was trapped, my family had to walk there and back.

[Ritabert]

64. I remember it well. We took a sled to the market which was a mile away.

[yorkster]

3. Blizzard of 78. Was able to x-country ski

from Harvard Square to MIT on Mass Ave
and skied on Cambridge side streets for several nights.
There was a pile of skiis in a corner at the local Irish pub. ..including mine.
Lots of people were trapped in cars on the highways around Boston. It was scary for a lot of people. Snowed for 3 days.

Worked at BU and had the week off. Everything was closed down.

[Ritabert]

13. We used a sled to walk to the supermarket and see what food we could get.

No bread or milk at all. We got some canned goods etc.

[GreatGazoo]

6. As a skier the "worst" storms are the ones that end with freezing rain or

drop only 2 inches when you want 8 to 12.

Worked for a ski resort. Base is 8,000 feet above sea level, top is 11,000. Early January you can get storms that are -10F with sustained winds of 60 to 130MPH. Most of your bigger dump are at warmer temps, around 30F. When the air is super cold it can't hold onto moisture. We had a snow guru. He would predict snowfall by combining inches-per hour with expected duration. A ripping storm would be 3-inches per hour for more than 4 hours. Last Feb they got 6-feet in 36 hours.

It is beautiful 92% of the time but during the other 8% the wind around there is infamous:

8. Chicago, 1967

Made a good income shoveling cars out for people. Also got the one and only snow day from high school...only because the bus barn roof collapsed on the school buses.

[PJMcK]

29. See my post #27 (n/t)

[Martin Eden]

36. I was 9, our house was near Midway Airport.

I remember drifts over 6 feet. I could walk over our backyard fence.

The blizzard of 1979 was also severe. It cost Mayor Bilandic his job, replaced by Jane Byrne.

[Demobrat]

76. Me too. We jumped off the roof into snowdrifts.

I grew up in Albany Park. It was fun for a day or two but man those snow piles hung around forever.

[Rocknation]

9. New York City metro area blizzard, 1996

I had moved to New Jersey a few months before, and a state of emergency had been declared that closed both the New Jersey Turnpike AND the Garden State Parkway!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. I lived in Utica, NY

until I was 14. So I definitely saw snow as deep as your pictures, although I didn't really have to deal with it, i.e.drive.

[quaint]

19. Me, too. Just a babe in Utica 1950-1956.

I heard tales especially about 1950.
Born in Whittier
Baptised in Utica
First grade in Whittier (my dad told me to save their marriage)

[Lochloosa]

12. FL 1980's White stuff was everywhere.

[True Dough]

14. We're talking

a different kind of "white stuff" here, right Lochloosa?

[Lochloosa]

22. ....maybe

[Niagara]

15. I vaguely remember a few snow storms

Here's the Snowvember of 2014.



https://www.weather.gov/buf/lake1415_stormb.html

I believe the worst one was the Buffalo blizzard of 2022, two days before Christmas. Reed Timmer came to Buffalo and literally saved people who were out and got stuck in this blizzard.

https://blog.ametsoc.org/2023/10/12/once-in-a-generation-the-2022-buffalo-blizzard/


I told my boss and my clients family that I would not be going to work on Friday December 23rd. I would have been stranded for over a week at a clients home for Christmas. Yes, I would have been on the clock and received pay for the entire duration of being stranded during and after the blizzard. It's not where I wanted to be stranded for Christmas.


I take Buffalo No Travel Bans seriously. There's a reason why travel bans are enacted, to save lives. emergency services can't reach you if you get into trouble.


A young woman (originally from a southern state) just moved to Buffalo and she was driving home from work. She got stranded and froze to death waiting for help. I felt awful for her loved ones.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

62. I think I remember that

People on snowmobiles were out finding people who needed help. It was something wonderful to see.

I think a Bills game had to be played at the stadium in Detroit.

There have been so many crazy lake effect blizzards here in western New York it's hard to remember them all! 🥶🥶

[Niagara]

63. Luckily I live in the north towns and not the south towns

As you know the south towns are always getting hammered with snow.


I'm not a born "Buffalonian". I use to live about 160 miles under and to the east of Lake Michigan and there were a few times we got hammered with lake effect snow storms and blizzards.


Every time I talk to people back home they say, "How can you live in Buffalo with all that snow?" I always explain it's generally the south towns that get hit hard but there's snow "here at home" too. lol

[electric_blue68]

68. You might appreciate this...

NYC'r here. I worked for the NYS Dept of Labor in NYC '80/'81 as a long term temporary worker with others to catch up on a back log of labor certifications.

So I was there for a winter when they also had a worker from Buffalo come down as a supervisor for a section.

So we had our more typical snowstorms of 4" inches to a foot or so. But we start to complain about 8" inches to a foot of snow.

Well, our Buffallo guy said, "Pffftttt, we don't start to complain till it's over 3 ft!".

(omg, that poor woman from the South!)

[Niagara]

70. I certainly appreciate that, electric_blue68

lol

This sounds like a typical Buffalonian!


Yes, this young woman had been a nurse too which makes it even more heartbreaking.

[electric_blue68]

71. I though you'd get a kick out of that!

And a nurse, too. Woah.

[malthaussen]

16. Worst I remember was the Blizzard of '78...

... like a few people out there.

Honorable mention, though, goes to the blizzard of 1 Jan 1976. I spent all night on the phone with a friend of mine -- and when I went out in the morning, I couldn't find my car.

-- Mal

[Ritabert]

17. There was so much snow in Boston following the blizzard

...that they started dumping it in Boston Harbor because there was no place to put it.

[hlthe2b]

20. Denver (several, but most snow 31.8 inches March, 2003)

March 17-19, 2003
This was a big one: 31.8 inches of wet, heavy snow fell over a few spring days and just refused to stop. Club Vinyl’s roof collapsed, the snow tore a hole in DIA’s white tent, and heavy loads of white stuff took down branches and sheds and committed acts of frigid violence all over the metro area before finally winding down. Residents took to cross-country skiing to get to the store for supplies, even as Denver worked hard to restore power to over 135,000 of its residents. If you were here, you have a story. https://www.westword.com/news/denver-ten-biggest-snowstorms-8657201/

I was living just off of Cheeseman Park at the time and dogs got to tunnel into the park where their "people" were buiding snow caves and happily "toking" the day away... LOL Even big dogs were buried by the snow, but happily floating enough with heavy effort to get through.

I likewise remember being stranded at DIA trying to fly out to New Orleans during the mostly unexpected 1991 Halloween Blizzard that closed down the airport for several days (and though I had snowshoes AND cross-county skis, ski coats, boots and all associated equipment, DIA security would not let me go back to my car in the garage to grab my equipment and ski the half mile or so down Pina Blvd. to a nearby airport hotel. So, at the end, the adults (myself included) were tired, hungry (food venders ran out first day & Red Cross was delayed bringing any) and about as cranky as the poor babies who had no clean diapers and their sibling toddlers. Still nothing like the 1997 and 2003 storms!

But, I still love snow!

[Solly Mack]

21. Blizzard of '93, one of those "Storm of the Century" things. I was in Georgia, so it was bad.

North Georgia. No power. High winds. Cars buried. Snow drift up to the 6th step of my 10 steps back deck. Front door completely snowed in. Whiteout conditions. Pure powder. Airlifts (supplies) to people stuck in the higher mountain areas - no other way up or down. Extreme cold. It was wild. Ice and snow on the roads. Trees down. Roofs caved in from the weight of the snow. Huge snowmen being built - easy 15 feet high.

Growing up, schools would close at the threat of 1 inch of snow, so you can well imagine how little prepared the state was for what was about to happen.

We were home for the event. I loved watching the snow come down but it was mostly swirling because of the wind. The wind sounded like a tornado. You couldn't see anything really, not until morning. It was beautiful. Deadly, but beautiful.


I've been in snowstorms in both Colorado and Kansas (snow came up to my thighs and I did have to be out in it), and Georgia '93 was the worst for me.

But, no, nothing like in your photo.

It was bad, just not that bad.

[SamKnause]

23. The Great Blizzard of 1978. Southeast, Ohio.

Snow drifts over 12 feet.

People died in their homes before they could be rescued.

People burned their furniture to stay warm.

Bulldozers helped clear the roads where cars were buried beneath the drifts.

[Ritabert]

33. It sounds like you got it worse than Boston did

26. Chicago 1967.

[PJMcK]

28. See my post #27 (n/t)

[murielm99]

43. I was in Valparaiso, Indiana during that blizzard.

[PJMcK]

27. Suburb of Chicago 1967

My siblings and I were kids and our parents had gone to Florida for a vacation and Grandma was staying with us. The snow was very deep and the winds drifted the snow against the side of our house. A house was being built in the lot next door but all had had done was pour the foundation for the basement.

I had the idea that we could sled from our parents’ bedroom window down the drifted snow and into the basement next door. We did this two or three times before Grandma put an end to our fun!

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. LOL, that sounds like fun.

[Martin Eden]

37. Which suburb?

I was 9, and our house was in a half square mile unincorporated suburb named Central Stickney (between Midway Airport & I-55).

[PJMcK]

38. We lived in Downers Grove

It was mostly undeveloped farm fields. Today, it’s a packed sub-division.

Still, I have fond memories of my childhood there.

[Martin Eden]

39. I've lived in Downers Grove since 1986

There has been a lot of development since then, but probably not as much as 1967 to '86.

The old Tivoli Theater is still running.

[PJMcK]

40. We lived at 6208 Fairmont Drive

I can’t believe I pulled that address out of my old brain!

Many great memories. Several years ago, I had a business trip to Chicago and I drove out to see the old home. As I was taking a picture from the street, the new owner came out. After introducing myself, she invited me for a brief tour and trip down memory lane. It’s all mostly as I remembered it except for the upgrades and renovations. My bedroom is exactly as I remembered.

Downers Grove had the first 18-hole golf course in America. Today, the DG Golf Course has only 9 holes but it’s an honest 9, that is, it’s not a par-3 pitch and putt, (2 par-5s, 2 par-3s and 5 par-4s).

[Martin Eden]

44. I'm 3 miles west of your old house

On Hobson, just after 63rd st crosses I-355 and curves left to become Hobson.

I've never been a golfer, but I played softball 1 year at Gilbert Park and 19 years at McCollum.

[PJMcK]

56. Fun conversation

Happiest wishes for Christmas, New Year’s and all the rest!

I enjoyed my childhood in Illinois. Great school, YMCA, Little League, etc,

There are many friends and colleagues in Chicago that I keep in touch with.

[Martin Eden]

59. Happy holidays for you and yours as well

With no blizzards!

Supposed to be 50+ degrees in Chicagoland on Christmas, after a dip below ,ero a week ago.

[Cadfael]

72. I remember that blizzard

I grew up in what became Darien, a block south of 75th St…..our next door neighbor was determined to get to her bowling league and got her car stuck halfway down our street. The plows didn’t get to us for almost a week. My mom and dad walked to the IGA for groceries pulling my sled behind them.

[PJMcK]

31. Worst winter, NYC 1996

It snowed at the beginning of every week for 2 months. It was so bad that Broadway shows cancelled the Wednesday matinees!

[no_hypocrisy]

41. One particular period in January, 1996

I was an overnight operator for an answering service.

I heard the snow precipitation was going to be bad, so I brought meals for Sunday, Monday, and potentially Tuesday.

I arrived at 7 p.m. and it wasn't flurries. It was snow.

Just in case, I brought my snow shovel, as you just don't know.

And it snowed all through Sunday. And Monday. And Tuesday.

And I was alone, to answer all the calls for doctors, lawyers, apartment complexes, etc.

Fortunately, I had heat, cable TV, a microwave, and a toilet that flushed.

I looked out on the parking lot Monday afternoon. The asshole plower pushed all the snow against my car -- and it reached the roof.

By Monday night, I had suffered a severe case of vomiting and didn't feel like digging out my car, let alone answering the phones. (BTW, you wouldn't believe how many people called to see if their doctors' offices were open during a blizzard.)

Tuesday morning and no replacement operators. The Governor had closed the public roads. I wasn't going anywhere. The vomiting had stopped and I went out to dig out my car. Never missed a call too.

So, I later got my numbers to explain my experience. 32 inches of snow and I handled 10,000 calls for 2-1/2 days.

Monday afternoon, my replacement arrived. I slowly started for home.

The roads sucked and the plows left maybe 1/2 inch of ice and snow on the surface. I lived only 5 miles away but it took 45 minutes to get home. And guess what?

No on-the-street parking. The available spaces had 24+ inches of heavy snow. So, once again, I pulled out my snow shovel and made a niche to park my car.

I dragged my ass up two flights of stairs to my apartment. I liken it to Scarlett making her way to Tara.

The bedsheets felt warm and soft.

I didn't leave my bed for 10+ hours.

[PJMcK]

69. Gosh, what a travail!

So sorry to hear of your ordeal and I’m glad it’s way back in your rear view window!

Weather can be fierce and dangerous. It always amazes me to see people driving in rain or snow as if it was a sunny day in July. Recently, we were driving to upstate NY when a snow storm began. I kept to the right lane and as the storm intensified, I don’t think I surpassed 40 mph. However, other cars— and trucks!— were zooming past us going at least 60 mph.

In a one mile stretch there were four multi-vehicle accidents being attended by police, ambulances and in one case, a fire truck. We pulled off at the next exit and even though we were only 20 miles from home, we got a hotel room for the night.

The next day, there were reports of dozens of accidents and two deaths from the storm.

My father taught me always stay safe. Thankfully, we’re all here to share our experiences.

Merry Christmas, no_hypocrisy!

[piddyprints]

34. Mid 1960s, Loring Air Force Base, Maine

I can't remember exactly what year it was, just that I was in 3rd or 4th grade. And I don't know why we were there, as my dad was Army, not Air Force. Anyway, I always walked to school alone.

The housing was all the same, from one block to another. But I knew which block to walk to until that day. Buses were sent to take us home from school that day, and I couldn't see enough in all that snow to be able to tell which block to get off. I had never ridden a bus before. Its approach was on a the opposite side of the house from what I was used to, since it had to take the roads instead of the path through the woods. I was completely disoriented and got off one block too soon. The drifts were high and the wind was strong. It felt like I was being blown back two steps for every one I took. I finally made it to the front porch and collapsed. My mom heard the thud and then came out and found me, very cold and exhausted.

I might have been in worse snow storms since then, but that still sticks in my mind as the worst because, for me, it was the most dangerous. To this day, I hate snow and wind and everything about winter and storms.

[nuxvomica]

42. I remember getting two feet on the day before MLK Day a few years ago

After a few inches were dumped, I tried starting my showblower but could not get it to start. So I figured I had a lot of shoveling to do. Fortunately, I had MLK Day off so I drank a lot of water and took some l-arginine to boost my circulation and shoveled in shifts, resting and rehydrating at intervals. it all went pretty well. The next day, I had to give a blood sample for my upcoming physical. Everything was normal except for one enzyme that was double the high normal level and indicated liver failure. When I told my doctor about the shoveling, that explained it. The enzyme could also be high due to extreme muscular exhaustion. I had a friend come over later to look at the snowblower (he had the same model). It started right up for him. Apparently I just hadn't given it enough gas.

[doc03]

46. Probably 1977 or 78 in eastern Ohio.

I don't remember how much snow we had but the cold. The Ohio River froze over and I remember going to work in the steel mill one night it was -27. The hot metal pulled outside air into the building like a wind tunnel.

[10 Turtle Day]

47. The winter of 1983 in South Lake Tahoe, CA

I don’t remember the date but the snow was more than halfway up the sliding glass door. Not as bad as the photos in the OP but snow was up to the street sign poles once we finally got out. Some of that was probably from drifting and some from previous storms. I remember when I first moved to the Sierra Nevadas I naively asked what the 12-foot tall orange poles lining the highways were for and didn’t believe they were snow poles so snowplow drivers could know where the road edges were. I was off work that day from one of the casinos at Stateline, NV and snowed in at home along with my then boyfriend. People who were at work were snowed in there for days but at least they had emergency generators in the casinos because of course we lost power. We were always losing power. We shoveled our butts off but just couldn’t throw the snow any higher. At least we had shoveled enough that the dogs could go out to do their business. Friends of mine who still live there say that 2022 was even worse than the winter of ‘83 and that is truly inconceivable. By spring there were bumper stickers and t-shirts available proclaiming “I survived the winter of 1982-1983!” I have photos somewhere around here but no clue where to start looking.

I remember another big storm that same winter and the same boyfriend was snowed in at his house along with his twin brother. Their house was on a side street maybe 8 houses from Pioneer Trail, a main artery road that went to Stateline had been plowed. The brothers started shoveling their road and said that their neighbors came out to laugh and call them crazy fools but once they got closer to their homes they stopped laughing and joined in the shoveling. They eventually did clear a lane to Pioneer Trail and were able to get to work.

[Emile]

49. Indiana blizzard of 1978

[Aristus]

51. As above, the Blizzard of 1978. I was living on Fort Knox, Kentucky at the time.

The snow was four or five feet high in some places. School was called off for over a week. My poor Dad was out in the field with his unit at the time. It must have been freezing! My mother decided to save power and heating fuel by closing off all of the heating vents in the rest of the house, and then moving us kids into her bedroom with her. We slept in sleeping bags on the floor. When we ate, it was like a picnic. It was fun.

I'll never forget the endless snowmelt when Spring finally came. There had been so much snow that it melted into veritable oceans. Every storm drain on post was inundated with the endless running snowmelt. You could hear them in the dozens all over the neighborhood. It was like living next to a waterfall. Even weeks after the last snow disappeared from the ground, the cascading roar of the water going down the drains went on. The Spring day when I woke up only to the sound of birds chirping, and no snow runoff, was like the world starting all over.

I was nine year old at the time. You can see what an impression that winter had made on me.

[waterwatcher123]

53. Halloween Blizzard of 1991 in MN - 37 inches of snow in Duluth without accounting for drifts.

https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/9110_31_halloween_blizzard.html

[True Dough]

54. On that day,

you were more of a snow watcher than a water watcher. Although with the inevitable melt...

[waterwatcher123]

58. You are quite right - seared into memory after following a plow truck for hours and hours trying to get home.

[Skittles]

55. not really a snowstorm per se but

the cold and the snow were one thing but the Texas grid failure at the time was what made it a truly miserable experience

[Eugene]

57. I was going to say Blizzard of 1969 until reminded of the Great Blizzard of 1978 in Boston.

From 1969, I remember the ferocious winds and thundersnow.

I remember the Blizzard of 1978 shutting Boston down for over a week. Forget the snow plows. Streets had to be dug out with front-end loaders.

Official records say Boston got 27 inches of snow, but I remember my home street buried under 4 feet of it. Residents had to dig out by hand just to get in or out.

[yellowdogintexas]

66. my ex was in grad school at Harvard when the 1969 storm happened

Love Story was being filmed in Cambridge at the time, and the director took advantage of the weather to film that snow scene in Harvard Yard

[LogDog75]

60. In England in the mid-80s

I was in medical supply in our medical clinic and we had a patient who came in about 3 minutes before the clinic closed complaining of a migraine. Or pharmacy was out of the medication the patient needed so we RAF Lakenheath to see if they had any they could spare. They did and we sent on of our airmen there, about 45 minutes away, to pick it up. I usually worked late so I was going to stay until he came back. After about three hours, he hadn't returned. We called RAF Lakenheath and they said he had picked up the medication and left. My OIC and I waited another 30 minutes before I decided I would drive the same route and look for him. It was snowing hard; very hard when I left and the snow and wind was to by back. I made it to RAF Lakenheath and he wasn't there. I came back the same route and was driving directly into the wind and snow. It was dark, visibility as 20 yards, the wind blowing hard, and I could only drive about 25 mph. I made it back around 9:30 pm and the airman still hadn't shown up. We called the Security Police and asked them to check with other bases as well as the local police. The next morning, around 7 am, we get a call saying the airman was at another AF base where the Security Police had him stay there until morning. Needless to say, we didn't send him to RAF Lakenheath after that.

[mnhtnbb]

61. NJ in the early '60's

There was a series of storms dumping upwards of 20 inches at a time. I remember one storm where we couldn't get the back door open to let the dog out. My brother wiggled out the kitchen window. We handed a snow shovel out to him and he had to dig out the back stoop so we could open the door to let the dog out!

[ProfessorGAC]

65. 1967

We got 2' in a day.
We've had a handful of big snows since, but not as much as '67.
They sent us home early from school. I was in 5th grade. By 4pm, there was over a foot of snow.
My dad delivered milk to supermarkets in the south suburbs. About 30 miles away. Took him almost 4 hours to get back to the dairy.
The most recent biggie I recall was around 10 years ago. I had to blow snow every 4 hours for a day.

[surrealAmerican]

67. The worst was in New York, probably 1975 or 6.

Maybe not so much snow, but it turned into an "ice storm". There was a layer of snow covered with a layer of ice. My family was out of power for a week, and it was cold. I can still remember the sound of tile popping off the kitchen floor because the subfloor was shrinking in the cold.

[VGNonly]

73. NW OH 78

I was going to BGSU. It started with rain, then an icy glaze, soon a ferocious wind kicked up with thunder and lighting. Then the snow started, the temps dropped 40* in two hours. The power went out. Ended up with 14" of snow, temps of -10, chill factors of -50, drifts of 6' +. A couple I knew got trapped in their car, tried to walk out, froze to death. It took to mid April for the snow to finally go away.

[AuntieKatie]

74. North Dakota 1966

No mail delivery, Fargo Forum wasn't printed for 2 days. Our mom traded yarn for venison with a neighbor and on day 3 my brothers took a sled to go to the grocery store. As a 12 year old I loved it!

[AllyCat]

75. Blizzard of '79 in Illinois/Wisconsin

Took a week to dig everyone out and get schools open.
