White_Mtn_Wx Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The Great Blue Snow Storm that lives in infamy out in these parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ_Ken Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Good stuff. I only watched these without sound so maybe they mentioned this and I just didn't hear it: A former co-worker was around 10 years old and living in the NW burbs of Philly in 1958. He confirmed everything you see in those videos, but he also told me that there were so many live downed power lines in his neighborhood that he was not allowed to leave the house for a week because his mother was afraid he would get electrocuted (and it sounds like all his friends' mothers did the same to his friends). Could you imagine waiting your whole life for a storm like that, and, after finally getting it, being unable to do anything but look out the window at it as it gradually melted away?

Lady Di Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Shucks, can't view that at work. My neighbor grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, and I believe it is this storm that he has told me quite a story. Their front porch collapsed from the weight, they ran out of wood to heat the place, finally their neighbors came in to get them on horseback. He was probably 6 or 7 years old. They were dropping feed for livestock, food and supplies from helicopters. There was still snow on the ground until June he recalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Awesome footage. I noticed WGAL on one of them - is that Harrisburg? Would be nice if the videos had some indication of where the footage was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
