North American blizzard of 1996
text:
The North American blizzard of 1996 was a severe nor'easter that paralyzed the United States East Coast with up to 4 feet (1.2 m) of wind-driven snow from January 6 to January 8, 1996. The City University of New York reported that the storm "dropped 20 inches of snow, had wind gusts of 50 mph and snow drifts up to 8 feet high."
This storm was a classic example of a nor'easter, but the storm would not have been as historically significant without the presence of the arctic high pressure system lo
