DO YOU REMEMBER THIS ONE? ( FEB 2003)
In many years, some of the worst winter storms have occurred in February. This is an exceedingly stormy month because middle and northern latitudes are very cold, while warmer weather is starting to blossom through the Deep South. The ensuing large temperature gradients provide all the energy necessary for atmospheric monsters capable of dumping excessive amounts of snow.
The blizzard of 2003 easily makes the top 10 of the past 30 years and was one of the worst beyond the year 2000.
The storm formed on Feb. 14 and lasted through Feb. 19. It was accompanied by extreme cold and strong winds making it a true blizzard. During the height of the storm, many areas had temperatures no higher than the teens, and severe blowing and drifting snow caused complete whiteouts. Hundreds of people became stranded in the storm.
Exceptionally large portions of the Midwest and East were covered by more than a foot of snow, and a large area from northern Maryland to southern New England had more than 2 feet. In Baltimore, 28 inches of snow fell, and even more piled up in the Baltimore suburbs. Kingsville, a small town in Baltimore County, had 37.4 inches. 12+ inches of snow fell in south-central Iowa on the 14th and 15th.
