Perspective: Memories of the crippling, historic storm remain vivid.

The Superstorm of 1993 was one of the most intense mid-latitude cyclones ever observed over the Eastern United States. The storm will be remembered for its tremendous snowfall totals from Alabama through Maine, high winds all along the East coast, extreme coastal flooding along the Florida west coast, incredibly low barometric pressures across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, and for the unseasonably cold air that followed behind the storm.

The following day’s dawn dashed that hope into hibernation. We awoke to deepening snowdrifts driven by blistering winds, with a storm total of over 20 inches smothering the spring-tinged landscape by day’s end. Temperatures fell throughout that day, and bitterly cold air plunged by the morning of the 14th into the single digits. In the mid-South. In mid-March!
