PRINT EXCLUSIVE: A look back at the Blizzard of '93

By Bill Moss, Published: March 6, 2013

Twenty years ago the Storm of the Century formed in the Gulf of Mexico, mixed with cold air, marched up the entire length of the Eastern Seaboard and caused death and destruction not equaled since by a winter storm. Read our lookback at the storm to find out how emergency crews responded to dangerous whiteout conditions and how regular folks coped with high snowdrifts and power outages. You got get a print copy because it's only in the Lightning and it's only in print!
