I actually drove to Rehoboth Beach, DE on 1/24/2000 to watch it snow the next day because it was supposed to miss us wide right here. Ended up spending a couple of extra nights since it snowed more here than it did there. As a beach nut I was so excited to go and watch a huge storm at the ocean...oh how I wish I would have stayed home...
I don't remember the storm you're talking about...though i remember 4/6/1982 very well. 9" of cold powder WITH drifting...on April 6th.
