- Well over a foot of snow nearly paralyzed East Tennessee during March of 1993. Through archive video and new interviews, we look back at the impact of the Storm of the Century in Knoxville & surrounding areas. (part 1 of special)
I was 13, lived in Alexandria Va. I think I stayed up most of the night watching the snow fall. It was up to my knees in the morning time.
drove to Beech Mtn N.C. from Atl,. . March 12th took 14 hours got there was 57 " skied all the next day . .was the only sole on the whole mtn.
I lived at East Towne Village during that wild and crazy day...........I loved it fun fun fun I want another one lol
back from spring break in Morgantown WV and living on the THIRD floor of a home on University ave - my roommates all came up to my room and we looked out since the snow was Up to the window - no power.. and the liquor maker who lived next door saw up looking out his top window and wondering if we had a broom - we all began questioning that we have one and how we would get it to him - well , one of the roommates - reached out to the side window and he placed matches upon it and shot many of them out to get a HOLE in front of the door of the snow so we would get to shovel a 7 ft snow piles to get three buildings down to get food and drinks and get the fireplace working! hence we went all over WU and snowball ski-ing week!!
I remember it I was 10 yrs old I lived in tazewell county va at the time ten inches fell at my house I remember the snow up to our porch we had no school for a month we was out of power for about 3 weeks yeh I remember.
I was almost 16 years old when that storm hit. I lived in Sparta, TN. I remember they let us out of school Friday at about 11:00 am. It had just started to snow. By Saturday morning you could not see out of the windows of my house. I really don't know how much snow we had because of the drifts. Anywhere from one foot to several feet of snow depending on where you walked. It snowed from mid day Friday until Sunday afternoon. I can honestly say that I have never seen snow like that before or since. By the next Wednesday, it was basically gone and spring weather settled in. It truly was the storm of the century.
I was born 3 months after this storm! Guess that makes us both 30 years old!
I was born just over a month after the storm
3 months for me!
It's frankly obvious that NO ONE will EVER forget that terrible day in weather history! March 12, 1993! The day of the Storm of the Century!
Richmond Virginia got a little sleet then all rain.
