If there was such a thing as a winter wonderland index based on snow and cold, Jan 4, 2014 would be a top 5. Expand Maybe the WSI Winter Severity Index is a good measure of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back, during the Blizzard of '96 people were referencing '78 and '83 which by that time felt like they happened in the stone age. But only 13 years elapsed between '83 and '96, and it's now been twice that long since '96 as you said. Next year will be *30* years since the '93 superstorm, which feels like yesterday. It's going too fast, someone make it slow down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
