The Storm of the Century , also known as the '93 Superstorm , or the(
Great ) Blizzard of 1993 , was a large cyclonic storm that occurred on
March 12-13, 1993, on the East Coast of North America. It is uniquefor
its intensity, massive size and wide-reaching effect. At its height,
the storm stretched from Canada towards Central America, but its main
impact was on the Eastern United States and Cuba. The cyclone moved
through the Gulf of Mexico, and then through the Eastern UnitedStates
before moving into Canada. Areas as far south as central Alabama and
Georgia received 6 to8 inches (15 to 20 cm) of snow andareas such as
Birmingham, Alabama , received up to 12 inches (30 cm) with isolated
reports of 16 inches (41 cm). Even the Florida Panhandle reported up
to 4 inches (10 cm), [ 2 ] with hurricane-force wind gusts and record
low barometric pressures . Between Louisiana and Cuba,
hurricane-forcewinds produced high storm surges across northwestern
Florida, which along with scattered tornadoes killeddozens of people.
Record cold temperatures were seen across portions of the South and
East in the wake of this storm. In the UnitedStates, the storm was
responsible for the loss of electric power to over10 million
customers. It is purportedto have been directly experienced by nearly
40 percent of the country's population at that time. [ 3 ] A total of
310 people, including 10from Cuba, perished during this storm
The 1993 Storm of the Century marked a milestone in U.S. weather
forecasting . By March 8 (and by some accounts even earlier),
severaloperational numerical weather prediction models and
medium-range forecasters at the US National Weather Service recognized
the threat of a significant snowstorm . By March 12, many had reviewed
the data and were convinced that a serious threatloomed overhead. This
marked the first time that National Weather Service meteorologists
were able topredict accurately a system's severity five days in
advance. Official blizzard warnings were issued two days before the
storm arrived, as shorter-range models began to confirm the
predictions. Forecasters were finally confident enough in the
computer-forecast models to support decisions by several Northeastern
U.S. states to declare a State of Emergency before the snow even
started to fall. [ 4 ]
In the South, however, temperaturesin the days before the storm were
typical for early March. Although large fluctuations in temperature
arenot unusual in the deep south, many residents doubted that freezing
temperatures could return so rapidly or that snow was likely due to
the rarity of significant snowfall later than February. Many local TV
news stations were reluctant to even broadcast the forecast models,
due to the extreme numbers being predicted by the computers, but the
models turned out to be right
