Why a Major Snowstorm Is Still Possible This Month

[@RTiff]

13K! Congratulations, Travis!

[@JessicaHorton-bu3eu]

I got stuck in a lake effect snow storm in Buffalo, NY in December of 2022!! Came in on Dec 23rd & we had whiteout conditions for 40+ hours. My partner and I were there to see Niagara Falls & stayed in a hotel right on the canalside. I have never experienced anything like it! We heard reports of it being one of the strongest blizzards Buffalo had seen in 50 years! Absolute craziness. Such a fond memory for me :)

[@dylan8285]

Biggest snowstorm I’ve ever experienced was Groundhog Day of 2015 16in of snow here in SE MI With 4-5ft drifts. Then of course as an overall winter the infamous 13-14 year just absolutely constant bombardment of snow. I’m not sure any year will ever live up to that again with a record of 96in for the year

[@crandonborth]

It crazy I'm on the opposite side of lake michigan and we only get rain in the winter and i see michigan getting all the snow every winter. We have maybe had 2" of snow so far this winter lol

[@8910dsb]

The winters of 1977 and 78 were full of big snowstorms in Massachusetts. The ultimate storm was the huge and unforgettable Blizzard of '78!

[@jenniferlong7439]

I was 6 years old when the blizzard of ‘78 hit the Ohio Valley. We lived, and still do, in Scott County Indiana. My mom was stranded away from me and my little brother and my dad for nearly a week. The snow was drifted up to the top of our front door. I’ll never forget it.

[@tomwilliams452]

13K!!!! Keep it up Travis

[@WeatherWithTravis]

Thanks for the support!

[@FredCrooks]

The winters of 76/77 and 77/78 in the Ohio Valley was particularly memorable for me. The 76/77 winter, the Ohio River froze over completely at Evansville, Henderson, Owensboro location. I think at one point we had 3 feet on the ground with near or below freezing temperatures. By the way Travis, you do a great job. The best I have ever seen. I really like the scope of your analysis - both geographically and temporally. I watch you daily. Thanks!!

[@snoflysse8844]

For me the blizzard of '96 January 6-8 was the biggest one to date. I was living in Long Island, NY at the time and we were basically snowed in for 3 days! The snowdrifts were 4-5 feet high and when finally the snowplows cleared the roads the snow piles were so high that you had to literally climb over them just to get to the other side of the street!

[@bobcarr5497]

Blizzard of 1978 and 1984 in northeast Ohio.

[@joshuawarkentin9199]

Biggest for me was the blizzard of 97 in North Dakota and Manitoba. It made a 12 foot drift in our yard and then led to one of the biggest floods in the Red River Valley's recorded history.

[@timmymeredith7499]

Congratulations on 13000 I think I've been following you since you had maybe a thousand 1500 it's been a while congratulations again

[@northernhappiness7499]

Biggest memory of that biggest storm: Chicago area blizzard during 1978 79! I was 9 yrs old and clearly recall climbing snow pile up to the very peak of our rooftop and we would sled all the way down. Untill of course the day came when the pile melted so no more reaching the roofs edge to climb up. Never ever forget the enormous piles alongside roadways. My dad would ask me to get out of the car to peak make sure no oncoming traffic was coming..

[@scm0717]

The snowstorm of 1978 in the Philadelphia area. It was over 20 inches of snow. The 1993 and 1996 were extremely memorable too, especially the 30 inches of snow we received in 1996.

[@sknowman1424]

The Winter's of the late 70's in West Virginia and the big storm of 78 were most memorable and the reason i enjoy snow to this day. The April 87, 2 feet snowstorm, March 93 superstorm and the Blizzard of 96 all stand out to me. I think of those great one's every Winter. Especially over the past 27 to 28 years when all we get is a dusting from the dreaded backside flurries.

[@quincyvenable2279]

Huge fan of the channel! When do you think we’ll see a good snowstorm in the capital region of New York?

[@WeatherWithTravis]

I don’t know. Watch that one storm potential I showed

[@tyreseforren6721]

​@@WeatherWithTravis Saturday December 21 looks interesting

[@aaronanderson9047]

1993 Superstorm we got 8 inches of snow here in South Mississippi bout 20 miles from Hattiesburg. Got 7.5 Dec 8th 2017. Thats by far the most i know of in my life time around this area

[@WilliamZuniga-gf1nb]

Not the worst but definitely the coolest snow storm i ever saw was in the year 2000 i was just 5 and half years old. Shallotte north caroline... i jabe pictures of me playing in the snow.. it was great and i still remember it.. im now 29 years old.. like 10 inches!!!!! My dad has since passed away bit i remeber we lived in the woods far away from everything ajd we were walking in dark with flash lights through the property..we looked like snow men at 2 am in the morning.. i miss it.. but God is good akd thank God for good memories amen

[@jameskruger4320]

I lived through the blizzard of 77 in WNY, 30 miles south of Buffalo. Very crazy weather!!

[@WatcherNine]

The biggest storm I remember was when I was 3 years old in 1967 in SE Michigan. That was a big one. There were many when I was a teen, one, not really a storm but was strange, was when it wasn't super cold but was snowing and the "flakes" were as big as dinner plates. That lasted a couple hours, dropping about a foot of snow but there wasn't much wind at all and the blobs of snow actually made a noise when they hit the ground. Since then the biggest snows I've seen have only been around 10" or so and happen in sets of 4-6" at a time (front then back half of the storm I guess). Nothing in my memory matches the storm of '67 though.

[@bobcarr5497]

Blizzard of 1977-1978 and 1994 in Northeast Ohio are the worst winter storms for me.

[@Liz_4Him]

The scream I scrumpt when you showed the *possibility* of some Oklahoma snow 😱 oh I hope hope hope 🙏 ❄️

[@donnanemier2000]

I was 7 during the blizzard of 1966 in Upstate NY, and, boy, do I remember 1993. I live in Syracuse, and we got 43 inches. Momma!

[@cliftonalexander1569]

I survived the blizzard of 1978 . We never got above freezing for 6 weeks . Snow was piled up so high around street lights you could climb up to change the light bulb . It was an extension of the winter of 1976 / 77 which saw the Ohio river and the Mississippi freeze over. Many people died from the weather . It was thought we were entering some type of mini ice age . I actually saw power company commercials supporting greenhouse gases produced by power plants to support global warming ! It snowed in the Bahama islands . The cold will come again !!!

[@livvw]

very early but the euro suggesting quite a dumping of snow in the great lakes area for christmas time, i really want that!

[@SevereStormFilmer]

SAME HERE in Ohio!

[@crandonborth]

Im from Eastern wisconsin so we dont get lake effect snow like michigan does but in 2018 we had like 18" in one storm and we honestly haven't had that much since. Our grass is still green in December... strange how much winter has changed here.

[@thomasnagle501]

November 9-12 96 N.E Ohio 70+ inches of Lake Effect.

[@jameslee7549]

Blizzard of '78. Was out of school about a month my freshman year in southeastern Indiana.

[@justinsmith5405]

I was only 2 in ‘93 so I don’t have a memory of that one. I’m from NEPA so we got nailed with that one. For me March 2017 I received 26” of snow & that storm was the most impressive I ever got to witness so that was the biggest one but a few of the nor’easters of the early 00s & especially early 2010s I remember having 15-18” multiple times. But I really want a nice Jan/Feb bomb where cold air produces high ratio snow not the wet heavy crap. I hate getting a foot of that.

[@heathrunyon4036]

The 1978 blizzard in the Midwest and 2022 New Years snowstorm in Reno, Nv that knocked power out for days.

[@JefferyEdwards-q1x]

Thank you very much, I definitely appreciate you taking the time to show us and you also do a great job showing and explaining the weather, I am hoping for 1-2 inches of snow here in northern West Virginia, I also appreciate you not hyping the weather.

[@Dalton770]

Definitely the blizzard of 78 for me it was CRAZY.

[@BlizzardSeeker]

@@Dalton770 I remember 78, we got 3 snowstorms in a 10 or 12 day period January into February. 24, 18, 36 inches of snow. There was nowhere to shovel the snow. I do believe there were more storms that missed us. What happened to real winters?

[@Dalton770]

@ IKR like now we barely get any in central oh, it sucks we don’t get the 5in plus snowstorms we used to😢😓

[@noahh7866]

Biggest storm I’ve experienced in the Twin Cities was in 2010. We had 17 inches and it collapsed the Vikings stadium

[@WeatherWithTravis]

[@JonezBBQ]

[@RickCotini]

Love the look of those Maps, at least it's promising

[@Emanuel_carey]

7:47 the euro has also done better with this storm that’s coming tomorrow. I don’t think there be much snow on the interior northeast. Looking at the temps, it stays too warm

[@elkkaraus6087]

Both 1977 and 1978 winters in Pennsylvania, made me move south!!!

[@mnmcards5251]

Biggest snow storm, I remember a few monsters like it was yesterday 2016 Pennsylvania 30 inches. 2010 New Jersey 25 inches. And my favorite was 1996 New Jersey around 25 inches will remember these the rest of my life, Amazing ❄️👍

[@LifeofDeVonsha]

I'm so ready for a good snow here in Northeast Illinois.

[@jeromejackson1029]

Blizzard of 93 for me! I live in NE TN and we got over 3feet of snow! The interstates were closed for 7days. All the way down to Atlanta! I was at work for 5days. No one could get in or out. Hospital patients were stranded also,they couldn’t get home. Nevertheless, it has never left me and I’ve been retired for six years.

[@timme2844]

The biggest, craziest, and most intense snowstorm I've ever experienced happened on December 15, 1987! My wife and i had just gotten married three days before. We were living in our first apartment together( AKA, our honeymoon suite 😂) in the little town of Winnebago, Illinois which is located just outside of the city of Rockford located in extreme northern Illinois, very near the Wisconsin state line. That blizzard dumped over a foot of snow on us. Most of that day we were under blizzard warnings, with winds howling at 45mph and some gusts over 75mph 😮! Those high winds ended up taking down trees in our apartment complex! They said at times the snowfall rate was over 2+" per hour! That day, even until this day, remains the only time i have ever experienced thunder AND lightening snow. It wasn't just a little thunder snow either, as throughout that day there was multiple times this rare phenomenon occurred and it was intense to say the least! In fact, the lightening got so bad, that at one point, it struck our townhouse, resulting in the only time we ever had a television fried by lightening regardless of the season 😮! When that blizzard was finally over, it took 36 hours before our neighborhood was completely dug out. Even though we had lost our new TV to lightening it wasn't all bad as least as snowed in newly weds 😊😂!

[@tomr9509]

Worse was the Blizzard of 77 in the Buffalo Niagara Falls area. Travis just wondering how the rain and snow has relieved some of the drought problems.

[@WeatherWithTravis]

That’s a good question, it certainly will help especially after the rain we’re getting this week

@ thanks, great channel. Ice fishing guide from Green Bay! Need cold!

[@faithbrown8739]

Yeah! It was the storm of 1993! I happened to be on vacation that week too. It was nice until I had to dig myself out of the garage. And, of course, the snow plows piled up the snow in front of my driveway! GADS!

[@UFOsrReal]

As a youngster the Blizzard of 1967 in Chicago.

[@YeOldeTraveller]

I watched the '93 storm as it rolled up the East Coast. I was working for the Dept of the Interior at the time. I grew up outside New Orleans and was tracking the central pressure as it dropped into hurricane levels. The most snow at one time I experienced was 3 foot overnight near Colorado Springs in the fall of 1984. Now in southeast Michigan, we had a year (2001, IIRC) were we could a couple a feet each week for a few weeks, but the biggest impact was the temperature staying well below freezing, so the snow did not melt and was thrown into ever larger piles.

[@scottythetrex5197]

I live west of Philly. My parents always talk about the blizzard of 78 but I was too young to remember it. I remember 83', 93', a couple in 2009-2010, and especially 2016.

[@alisalavine1052]

Biggest and my first ever snowstorm was early winter of '86. I was outside of DC, stationed on an Army base for my tech training school. DC got slammed. I think we had a couple of feet in total. Huge snow drifts. Everything inside of the Beltway and surrounding areas came to a halt. Cars were stranded on the Beltway for days. I was from California and one other kid was from Florida. We knew nothing about snow but were so happy to see it that we ran outside barefoot. Everyone else in our class watched us and laughed as we ran back inside, complaining that snow was cold. To be 18 again...

[@lesliehaskin8666]

[@andyjohnson6512]

Definitely the Super Storm of March 1993. Here in Chattanooga TN we got 18" of snow ❄️. Memorable for sure.

[@michaelkuhne2705]

So not trying to be disrespectful but it seems like most of your coverage in all your videos is on the east coast and more specifically the north east

[@WeatherWithTravis]

Just wait till the ice storm (like last year) hits Mississippi and you will see. That is where the snow and storminess is lately. I understand, but I never ever put out a video that doesn’t show the entire USA. I don’t even live in the northeast, but I focus on the weather, not specific spots

[@Emanuel_carey]

Going to northwest Indiana, for Christmas.. I want a white Christmas, but looking at models, we will get some kind of precip; I love driving in snow, but not with my wife and baby… oh and our dog is coming too.

[@DeamonteNicholson]

[@jamesdavidson676]

The Winter's of the past were the best of all since you had continued very brutal cold spells with a lot of snow. Today Winter if you can call it that are nothing at all like the past.
