- A powerful nor'easter unloaded 2 feet of snow and more from Virginia to southeastern New England on Jan. 6-8, 1996. Up to 4 feet of snow was unleashed.
Philadelphia was at the heart of the storm, getting buried by 31 inches of snow. The Blizzard of '96 still stands as the all-time biggest snowstorm for Philadelphia.
High winds howled across the region, causing massive drifting and blowing of snow that significantly reduced the visibility. - Two cars remain sit buried in the snow as pedestrians walk on 21st Street in Philadelphia Monday, Jan. 8, 1996. Many of Pennsylvania's streets and roadways were closed after Governor Tom Ridge declared a state of emergency and imposed a ban on non-essential travel.https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/remembering-the-epic-blizzard/3466714
