It’s hard to believe that it’s been 17 years since the Blizzard of ’93. I was a kid (10 years old) in Pittsburgh at the time and can remember making snow tunnels and going out with my dad as he plowed driveways. It didn’t seem like that big of a deal, even though we were off school for a while because of it.
Enter 2010. We have a snowstorm on February 5th and 6th that drops 24-36 inches of snow across parts of our region. Now, I’m driving and have a job. I have to shovel all of the snow off of my driveway.Â

The Blizzard of ’93 happened on March 12-14 (give or take) and dropped a lot of snow with blowing winds across record-cold temperatures. It also caused many deaths up and down the east coast.
