RAW: Footage of the 1996 blizzard

The winter of 1995 - 1996 was a weak La Nina, like this winter is predicted to be, and we had 46 inches of snow in downtown DC. But that's not likely this year.

I was born Jan 2, 1996 and my mom said there was a crazy blizzard while she was giving birth to me! And I’ve had this dream that stuck with me for 20+ years with my mom holding me as a baby walking throw snow waste deep😭

I was 22 years old working at fed ex and got stuck on a side street and had to walk 4 miles to get home oh man the memories

[@jayonez137]

I remember this like it was yesterday.
We lived in Middlesex County and we got 32” from that storm
Loved it!
We are overdue for another nor’easter like this.
Hope it happens this year

They really had it rough back in the 1990s. Good thing we in the 2023 future can just fly over with our cars. Or maybe...

27 years ago l was out in that blizzard with my six year old daughter her father had to put her on the shoulders, because the snow was that deep the wind you couldn’t breathe, surely thought I was gonna die that night, but God is good he saw us through it and we walked and got home, 2 feet of snow 80 miles an hour wind, Staten Island, New York.

I remember this. I was an essential employee and had to be to at work. I remember a coworker's husband going around picking up all of us workers in his big 4 wheel drive. Some of us were stuck on the job for almost a freaking week!

I missed a week of school because of this blizzard.

Let us all pray that the limo driver trying to get traction from a stopped red light in 1996 is doing well now 😂

"Build a snowperson" ... so even in 1996 they used woke language
"leaving samaritans, good and otherwise" - LOL

[@rodonis88]

At least it sounded genuine back then instead of the way it’s force feed today!
