Some of you who are older might remember the “Storm of the Century”, which happened on March 12-14, 1993. My in-laws in Birmingham got hit with almost 18 inches of snow and lost power for a week, spending most of that time in bed just to keep warm. My husband (also a meteorologist) and I watched with amazement from Wisconsin as the storm caused not only massive power outages but also a storm surge in the northeast Gulf of Mexico and a severe weather outbreak in the Florida peninsula. Snow fell up the East Coast in a large swathe that brought records to many areas.
One of the most amazing things about the storm was how far ahead it was forecast and how good the forecast was. You can read more about it from the blog of James Spann, famous meteorologist from Birmingham, AL at https://www.alabamawx.com/?p=100123.
