I was in my young 20's in 1983. That was the only blizzard where I experienced the thunder and lighting.
In 1996 I watched with neighbors the Eagles lose @ Dallas 30-11 while all heck was breaking loose on the roads. Monday morning Gov. said only heating oil trucks were allowed to be out there. I worked for an oil company at the time. Going into work on Tuesday morning, I was loaded with some sand and a shovel in my car. I traveled the main highway and there were still huge drifts reducing the road to 1 lane, in multiple areas on Rte 202. It was nuts. Thanks for the video. It certainly is a blast from the past!!!!
Still my favorite is the 2009-10. I can't recall the dates but we had back to back storms, one of which my location was under one of those death bands (as you call them). I was posting here at the time. It was intense, to say the least.
