    I remember Dec 2013 being a really bad storm, but only because I remember experiencing it.
    Everything in the Toronto area was coated in ice (once it was no longer coming down, it looked absolutely beautiful with everything in ice, but was so destructive), and thousands had no power through Christmas.

    I’m a little surprised that the blizzard of 1978 wasn’t mentioned for Ohio. My parents recall how the national guard had to use tanks to help people that were stranded on the roads.
    Also, the blizzard in February of 1979 was important for racing since a bunch of people in the northeast that had nothing to do were watching the CBS broadcast of the Daytona 500. It’s believed that this race helped to expand the popularity of the sport to a nationwide audience.

    I think everyone in New England remembers or has/had parents that have talked about the blizzard of ‘69 at some point.
    One interesting event I can think of is snow related but happened on a different holiday! On Halloween in New Hampshire in 2012 approximately (possibly another year, like 2011?) we got a snowstorm with extremely wet snow. The problem? There were still leaves on the trees!!! There was an extensive power outage. We lost power for six days. Somehow had hot water, though. I honestly think the ability to shower was the only way my family got through it 😂 If we had to smell each other for that long, man. Idk there may have been violence lol

    One memorable snowstorm happened in Gallatin, Tennessee. February 15,2021 Gallatin was forecasted for only a quarter of an inch, but ended up as almost 1 foot of snow. In February Gallatin sees some 50 to 70 degrees weather patterns. But instead they saw -1 to 10 degrees for seven to nine days. Schools were cancelled and jobs were not opened. This nightmare came from Texas when the storm travelled north to Gallatin.

    BTW: I remember the 2004 Christmas snowstorm in Texas: I was living there at the time. There was very little snow in Austin, but the weather got rapidly WORSE the farther south and southeast one drove, so that travel was almost impossible once one got as far as Seguin and New Braunfels, and impossible from San Antonio on east to the coast.
    You should do a program on the southern Louisiana snowstorm in December 2009. I drove through that. Thundersnow with people driving 25 mph on IH12 between Hammond and Baton Rouge. (It started snowing on the Lake Ponchertrain Causeway!)

    I can remember the 2004 ice storm. We already had snow a lot in the early 2000's in Columbus. We had been in the Cleveland area visiting mom's parents and my dad was back home in Columbus. I can remember being in a nice warm house with power and my dad complaining that power had been out for three days. We couldn't go home for a while due to the weather and when the level 3 snow emergency mom made her way home. We got in a wreck close to home getting clipped by a car, then as we're just about to round the corner into the place we were living at we skidded on ice almost into a ditch. All while driving a 1987 Lincoln town car with no traction at all. We missed nearly the next week of school due to the weather and went to school in June because we used all our snow days at the time. We were in a rural area at the time so I remember us closing for days at a time due to cold or snow between 2000 and 2005.

    Sitting waiting for a flight in Montreal, thinking it’d be really cool to have a video on the January 1998 ice storm that devastated Quebec and northern New England.

    every time we get a heavy snow my mom likes to talk about the time they had a severe nor'easter bringing 4.5 feet of snow; they used the fire escape window to leave the house out of her 2nd story bedroom, it was safe enough to jump out of it, but they only did that once

    Please please please, could you do a video about ice storm Pax that happened in February of 2014? It hit Georgia on my birthday and knocked out power in parts of my city for almost a month. Living through that was wild. Especially seeing the damage left behind.

    I was 5 when that 2004 snow storm hit and I *still* remember it. I remember the snow being up to my forehead. It was so tall I could literally make a snow fort by just digging a hole in the side of this snow wall. It was a really awesome couple of days for lil 5 year old me, not so awesome for most most people though 😅

    That Christmas storm in Buffalo about happened in 2001 and my little sibling was born the first week of January. My mom always joked that if they came out a little earlier they would’ve had to snow mobile her to the hospital.

    You ever thought of doing a video on superstorm sandy in 2012? It impacted me directly and id like to know more about the unusual weather patterns involved with that specific tropical storm. I lived in west virginia at the time and got snowed in with no power for over a week.

      I saw other channels doing 10 year anniversary videos so I decided to wait, but I likely will in the future! This bomb cyclone reminded me of the winds of Sandy

      @@weatherboxstudios i thought the same thing about the bomb cyclone, too. I think that for me, personally, the sandy snowstorm was much worse. I was literally up to my waist in snow. We had to cook on a wood stove because we had no electricity for nine days. The pipes froze at one point, forcing us to melt snow for cooking and bathing. This year, in comparison, is just a normal december, minus the wind chills. But everyone forgot about the small towns in west virginia that got snowed in. Summersville isnt even a blip on the map for most people, and wouldnt have been for me if i didnt have extended family there.

    Not one, But two catastrophic snow storms, including the deadliest in the cities history, hit buffalo in 2022. Was there for both of them. I'm a nurse so I still go to work regardless of weather, and never before have I felt more in danger than during the Christmas storm of last year.
