I got 24 inches out here, it was one of the great blizzards you will ever see out here. I didn’t get to see a single flake though because I was inside the hospital with severe heart blockage. I think New York City got something like 9-10 inches 

Please use memory lane thread.

I was at my parents in Massapequa we got I think 15/16 inches solid storm

Wrong thread 

on this date in 2011 there was 18" of snow on the ground as winter was at its peak...1961 had a warm spell with a max of 29 and 8" of snow on the ground...KU event in 1966 brought 7-14" here...I remember the day well...there was 3" on the back side with SW winds...I was having a snowball fight with the neighborhood guys...one guy was standing on the corner about 100ft from me...I could have hit him if I threw it right at him...But as a weather nut I knew the wind was blowing hard so I threw the snowball over the roof of a three story building and the wind took it back and it hit him in the head from the other direction...he didn't know who through it...needless to say it was a great shot...I had a good arm back then...now I can hardly lift it lol...

@uncle w  48 years ago february 2 1976, the famous one inch blizzard, I remember light rain falling at 3 am with a temp of 48 degrees, all of a sudden I heard a strong wind and pelting rain, i saw the temp drop to 40 by 330 am, to 30 by 4 am, rain started to change to sleet and then heavy snow with winds over 40 mph, temps plunged to 20 by 430 am, by 5 am down to 10, everything iced over and encased in ice with strong winds and white conditions and drifting of a one inch snowfall, by 530 am down to 2 above zero, skies cleared by 6 am and it was a sunny , windy and frigid day with temps in the single digits, that was an amazing thing that happened, one that I cannot remember repeating and it seems like these things only happen out west with the rapid temps drop.

I remember waking up at 12 noon and missing the event...we got a 4" snowfall a few days later before Feb torched in the second half...There was an event on Feb 3-4, 1970 that had heavy freezing rain changing to 3" of snow...It was the worst driving I ever saw...worse than anything Andrew experienced...early on the third of February it was 56 degrees with rain...By midnight it was 20 degrees and snowing...10 degrees the next morning...

There was a storm in the early 1970s it may very well been February 1972. it was a rainy Sunday night and after I got done watching the Mutual of Omaha wild kingdom with Marlin Perkins, I went to bed and it was raining quite heavily when I woke up the next morning temperatures were in the teens and the rain had turned to slushy accumulating snow overnight and there was a frozen layer of about 3 inches of slush with a little bit of dry snowsnow on top of it but the winds were blowing it around.

The worse ice storm I experienced was Dec 16-17, 1973, next day sunny temps at 23 degrees, the sun hitting the trees was amazing encased in ice

@VIRGAMANThe Ang Lee movie The Ice Storm which has an all star cast was based on a New Canaan, Connecticut ice storm that took place in 1973 but they framed it around Thanksgiving when in actuality the storm you mention here was the actual real life storm.

This is by far  the worst ice storm  I have ever seen. So many trees and wise down and the trees that didn’t fall still had the branches from the top full in the street and sidewalk. Amazingly my  school, PS 90 in Richmond Hill NY was still open as my mother walked me the half mile to school, all the while we were dodging falling tree limbs and ice. We made it though.
