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.
