I remember seeing pictures of my grandmother waiving on a snowy hillside... NOPE she was on their roof.

My family moved us from Idaho to Alabama in the autumn of 92. We hadn't bothered to get much in the way of firewood for the fireplace, because the central heating was doing fine, and house temperatures of 74 degrees F were quite mild to us who had lived on the weather side of the mountains in Idaho for years. We had time to get settled in our new house and be comfortable. But then James Spann went on air to warn about the winter storm, and my parents became serious. Dad was glad we had brought all our snow gear south with us, because we had snow shovels and tire chains, and my brother and I were glad because we had sleds, snow boots, and snow pants. None of us thought it would be very bad, though. We got well over a foot of snow, and we lost power for about a week and a half. The snowstorm was also accompanied with ice that coated the tree limbs in nearly an inch of frozen water, weighing them down so much that they cracked off the trees and fell into the yard. My brother and I had to venture out into the yard and run the gauntlet under the trees, picking up branches and whatever pieces of wood we could get so we could burn them in the fireplace. I had a green iguana at the time, and because we had no power, he got too cold before we remembered him. I brought him into the living room by the fireplace, and he stretched himself out on the hearth rock as close to the fire grate as he possibly could. I still have the scars from the gouges his claws gave my arm as he had desperately clung to it for heat en route. Thankfully, he was fine after that. We were blowing bubbles into the fish aquarium to desperately keep it oxygenated enough for them. The dogs loved the snow, and they played outside with us kids. Mom and dad moved the freezers outside and left them open. The refrigerated food was also frozen, for the most part, and we grilled whatever we could over the fire in the fireplace. Despite all the snow, we had still gotten well over a half a foot of rain along with it, and our basement flooded badly. I remember the water being up to my knees down there at the time. It ruined everything that wasn't impermeable. Somehow, we managed. But we had to help our neighbors too, who were even less prepared than we were. Nobody had a generator. Nobody had kerosene heaters. We all had to burn wet wood that fell from the trees, because none of us had a strong supply of fire logs. We moved in the 93 year old next door neighbor lady in with us so she could sleep in a warm room, because she didn't have a fireplace or anything else to keep her warm. By the time we finally regained power, we had scoured our yard and hers for every stick and branch we could find, and we had begun hacksawing them down off of the trees too. Then we got power again, and we had to clean up the aftermath. It was a wild time, and I'm glad I was a kid then, because if I'd been an adult, I'd have been properly terrified.

As a gardener, I feel this. Spring seems sooner, but you have to be careful because if a sudden cold snap comes...

Living in the Midwest, I'm always thankful that our infrastructure was already made for both extremes in temperatures, and now it's just being tested with both those extremes getting MORE extreme, instead of being entirely unprepared for one entire end of the temperature spectrum. Everyone has to be more prepared to get walloped with extreme cold AND extreme heat now, and it bites when you're only set up for one of those. This winter was weird here, though, and it really demonstrated how these swings in temperature in the middle of the continent have inverted. You can normally count on two things: 1) the last week of January will be cold and untravelable due to winter weather (easy to track because I have a couple family birthdays that week, and they always get snowed out), and 2) February will be disgusting and slushy except for a week or so of gorgeous weather that gives you hope for an early spring, immediately followed by an extra nasty wave of cold winter weather. This year was completely inverted. The last week of January was in the 40's-50's and dry, and February was mostly in the 50's with one snap week of cold, immediately followed by temperatures in the 60's-low 70's. I've tried to enjoy the nice weather, but it's been so ominous. My usual joke is that there's 3 weeks in spring and 3 weeks in fall that make living here the rest of the year worth it, but we're already over that quota and we've just hit spring equinox. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the year.

This was so insanely well edited and she is so capitivating. But the editors really pieced all the interviews together in a seamless way! So shes great. But the editors deserve kudos too

I well remember the 1993 snowstorm here in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. I went outside and measured 19 inches of snow using a yardstick! This was in the middle of our very open front yard - without snowdrifts. Never have we had any amount close to that again.

It feels disingenuous to say the bomb cyclone "overpowers" climate warming. It is more of a symptom of it. As the climate warms, more warm air pushes far north, think temps above 30°F at the North Pole in January. As a result, the cold arctic air becomes displaced and erratic. This is simple entropy, energy spreading to places with less. If more energy gets introduced to a system, it will make the system unstable as a new equilibrium is developed.

Germany here. Our February was 5 degree celsius warmer than average. After the first week of Janurary where we had an epic snowstorm that lasted three days.

Almost 30 years later in 2021 we got “Snovid” in Texas; it was something we were not used to. The power went out for most people, and it was even harder to stay with those who did have power because of the pandemic. It was something my generation had never seen before. I don’t think any of us have. It was pretty intense.

I am seventy years old and remember the winters in mid to late sixties. In the suburbs north of St. Louis we owned Ice Skates and played hockey on local lakes. We owned wooden sleds and had races on steep hills every winter. Twenty years later as I had two kids in the same area, it never got cold enough long enough to freeze the lakes to a safe thickness. And it snowed so seldom that we only bought plastic discs for the few snow events as wooden sleds were too expensive for the rare snow storm. However we did have some memorable events of bitter cold and snow. I remember flying into St. Louis Lambert Field on Christmas Eve of 1983 and it being ten below zero with thirty mph winds and finding my car with a dead battery and four flat tires it was so cold. I had only been out of state for three weeks at the time. I also remember a thunder snow storm in 1976 when we had snow drifts on an interstate highway over two feet deep. The lightning strikes were incredible to see and the flakes were huge and many. Yet the trend was always warmer each year and less frozen stuff as time went by, but the threat of a severe event was always there.

I was in grad school at UMass Amherst during this. I was due to go to campus and hop a bus with my fellow architecture students to work with Habitat for Humanity down in North Carolina that Saturday. I was a little older than a trad and lived in my house about 40 miles north of Amherst in Brattleboro, VT. We heard about snow, but this time of year, it was usually 8 inches or less - not enough in those days to ban travel. After a loud, roaring wind all night heard through muffling effect of snow, I woke up to 43 inches! The storm doors on my house opened out, so I was penned in. It was going to take hours to get out and get the car uncovered. I called some on campus colleagues who said, "What? It's only like 5 inches - what are you talking about?" I let them know, it was armpit deep for me. I wasn't making the bus. It was the coldest, fluffiest snow I'd ever seen. Being 25 and stupid, I climbed up on the railing of my second story deck and stage-dived back-first into the snow. I landed in a perfect outline of myself .... about 3 ft deep. Then I found I couldn't get up. Powder doesn't hold your weight ... you just sink in. It took my wife hanging over the railing with a large custodian broom on a rope to hoist me up out of the snow hole so I could get to the walk-out basement door. At least that one opened in.

I will never forget the ice storm in ‘94!! I live in a suburb of Memphis. So it goes without saying that our little community was not prepared to wake up to find nearly three inches of solid ice had accumulated on absolutely everything. Power was out and we were without power for a little over two weeks. Luckily, we had a wood burning stove for a fireplace so we would cook on the top of it and it kept the entire house warm, sometimes too warm. We were lucky though. When power was restored and we were watching the local news, my heart sank to find out just how many elderly, disabled, homeless, and small children and babies had lost their lives from freezing to death. The ice storm of 1994 is forever etched into the memories of those Memphians who experienced that storm.

The polar vortex coming as far south as the Midwest & midsouth was very rare in the latter 20th century. But polar vortex intrusion into the US seems to becoming more & more common. Even though the average winter temp is rising, the polar vortex brings much colder temps than we are accustomed to.

It’s really this simple, one side wants to address the problem and make changes to avoid disaster and the other side just wants to keep on wasting energy and be “comfortable”. Ain’t no comfort with your head in the sand though, just being part of the problem

I would also mention Mount Pinatubo’s violent eruption in 1991 and smaller eruption in 1992, along with global warming messing with the arctic jet stream, had a significant impact on lowering global temperatures in the early 90s for ~3 years.

Yes, volatility gonna be off the roof. And food will be hard to produce. It is how it is gonna end. If someone expected it will be just warm and cozy, I have sad news for you.

First I thought they put a pretty girl there to make the show better. But now I learned what a wonderful scientist she is, someone who is really deeply interested in connecting with nature, finding out stuff and passing out her knowledge.

The blizzard of '93 was the best birthday present I've ever gotten. Got to skip school and play in the snow all day, even made a large snowman (which is pretty crazy for central AL). Kept our house warm and cooked because we had gas. I think only one guy on the street had a generator back then. (no I'm not a paid gas supporter)

Everytime I see you, young lady, on this channel, I know that it's going to be a knowledgeable and informative video! Thanks

I remember that night in March, going outside in New Orleans and it was above freezing but we were getting flurries with every gust of wind.

What I think is that you did a good job explaining this. What worries me is the accumulation of extreme events. Not only do they do damage, they also take time to get over. It takes an awful lot of time to fully recover from such things as floodings and wildfires.

I lived northeast of Birmingham, Alabama back in 1993. It was warm that Friday afternoon after work. It was Apocalyptic that late evening to point that we had to abandon the house. Most southern homes are simply not built for a Minnesota like snow event. Most of us that experienced that event could each write story's of what we witnessed, experienced and did. For me, it was how everyone did their best to help each other out, is what I not only witnessed, but took part in the experience of. I recall making a spaghetti dinner for some probably 30 people, with garlic toast on a wood stove, as my friends dad was out on his backhoe tractor collecting up neighbors from probably a 3 mile radius. Living now, in the mountains of Colorado for many years, one plans for and expects to be snowed in for a good week or more. One should plan on it. That blizzard event in Alabama was like being teleported to another planet. Prepare for the worst and hope the best, whether it's flooding, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes or even a weird snow event. We all seem to be more vulnerable to one of these now, more often than not.

I'm from Pennsylvania. They came out with tshirts that said "I survived the blizzard of '93". Another possible example is Hurricane Sandy. It happened in October and collided with a Nor'Easter coming down from Canada. The central parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania got hit with over a foot of snow, which is uncommon for that time of year.

I really, really like Maiya May's presentation and the content on this channel. Thanks!

Sometimes things are just in our faces : Polar vortex find it easier to move on continental masses since water is warmer. Theses types of events are to be normal in a close future.

A characteristic of global warming is more extreme weather and temprature fluctuations. This can result in record cold and heat, but the average of these record cold and heat trends up.

This was the first time I wore shorts most of the season. I don’t even think we had any ice warnings on the roads this year. At least during m-f commute

I was a junior in college in Wisconsin. I wasn’t interested in Florida that year. I wanted to see the desert SW, and NO ONE wanted to go with me. I finally convinced a friend to buy into my plan to ‘drive south and west until it gets hot, get out, get a sunburn and come back.’ We made it to Oklahoma City that first day of driving, slept in the car at a rest stop. Woke up freezing with a layer of snow on the car. F it, I said, we’re no longer going west, we’re going south. Ended up at the southern tip of Texas, but it was still grey and cold, so we went over the border into Mexico and the sun was out and it was warm and we had a BLAST. Ate mangoes in the plaza, drank cheap tequila, got sunburnt, ate street tacos, went dancing, it was awesome. Drove home to Wisconsin, and we were the only people who got sun. What happened? And all my classmates told me how they got caught by the storm in Tennessee and Kentucky and spent spring break in interstate hotels eating all their meals at truck stops. Should’ve come with me!

Another great, informative video. You're the best! I recall a very cold snap here in MN in late January to early February 2021. Coldest ive ever experienced here.

I was in the 5th Mob at Warner Robbins AFB. We had just gotten back from a training exercise on that Friday. Saturday we wake up to the snow. The unit gathered our military generators and took them to nursing homes to help provide power.

We got 18 inches of snow in our yard in eastern Tennessee. The plus was that the yard got a deep watering from the melt and our spring blooms were absolutely gorgeous that year.

anyone else reminded of the weather pylon in the old Land of the Lost series from the mid 1970s? we sure are in for a ride.

thank you. Could you add as a component of appreciating complexity, the question of aerosols in the atmosphere and how their presence or absence may impact climate extremes?

I had so much fun in that 1993 blizzard… we pulled a truck bed out and used it as a sled… northeastern Birmingham is so beautiful when covered in snow… also I remember James Spann visiting my school all the time… this story feels so special to me

I remember the super Storm of 93. I was 13 years old living in Chattanooga, TN. We ended up with 21 inches of snow ❄️. Very memorable....

I feel like you could have spent more time on the weakening of the polar vortex due to climate change. You didn’t really explain that.

I clearly remember this storm. We normally get snow where I live, but I clearly remember being able to walk on top of the snow. It had a crust of ice that did not break unless you jumped on it.

LOVE that you guys brought on James Spann!!!!!

Ya know, I realize that the 2021 deep freeze that hit Texas and the 144 hours of below freezing we had was bad. But in December of 1983, we had, at least here in Austin, 140 hours of below freezing and that blew in fast and hard. Back then some bank had a line with a time and temp number and you could hang up and call right back and it would've dropped another degree or two in just that long. Granted, I probably wasn't the only one calling them, but I was calling. I was sort of lucky, my roommate had taken the bus to her mother's because her step-father had passed away right at the start of the freeze - yes his death could be partly attributed to the below freezing temps and the fact the place he and her mother were living in had a giant hole in the front of the house the landlord refused to repair. They lived in a really backwater unincorporated village in Louisiana where nobody was going to make the jerk fix things. I would sit right in front of the heater and my back was warm but the rest was freezing. I had an electric blanket the cats and I shared and, on the worst night, my folks invited me to stay there. It was still freezing the day we drove up to my brother's house. But NOBODY talks about it!!!

I lived in Central Alabama in 1993. Some snow drifts were 10-15 foot deep. I was 9 but my father was prepared. Propane heat, generator. He used his brand new Massey Ferguson tractor to clear the roads to town.

My family was driving north from Miami to Atlanta after spring break. The skies over Florida were purple with sustained lightning and tornadoes warnings were continuous on the radio. We got to Valdosta GA where I-75 was closed and we couldn't go any farther. It was amazing to me that the state of Georgia had only a handful of snow plows and they were in the far north of the state. Atlanta was virtually closed for days!

Very interesting information. Well done

I thought I had heard that global warming makes the arctic air less stable and more likely to dip south and cause these events. I don't think that was mentioned in the video though, maybe it was just conjecture when I heard it? Still, it seems unlikely that polar vortex storms in the US are completely random and not related to global warming since the arctic is warming very rapidly overall. From the video: "Sometimes it can get disrupted or stretched" ... I have to ask, how and why does the polar vortex get disrupted and stretched? What effect does global warming have on polar vortex stretching and disruption? If we know the answer, this info should have been in the video.

We had an awful flood in Kansas that summer too. There are still water marks on the hills and trees to this day.

I live in alabama..i was 11yrs old and i remember hearing the trees popping in the woods. And we ate sandwiches for a whole week.

" As our climate continues to change." I love it when people don't use the word "IF" in this sentence

13' that's adorable. In Minnesota we might call that the storm of the season.

1991 the Halloween winter storm dropped almost 2.5 feet of snow in the Metro area, Minnesota. We were stranded at home for five days with an infant and toddler.

Here in the Mid Atlantic winter snows don't LAST, they are washed away by Rain - making floods the death threat! And the soil can be DRY by late May! Drought, despite all that rain earlier! .

I'm from Dalton, Ga & we had 25" of snow in the March 13, 1993 snow storm. 10 days before my 16th birthday & I remember it like it was yesterday.

Hold the phone, let me give yea a little fact checker sticker here , as a part time marine biologist here, this winter was one if the coldest water temp in years if not decades.. surface tempe holding 30f or -1.5-3c and sea floor holding out at -5c for all of January and February, the surface temps are now at or just breaking above freezing and the seafloor is almost 30f -/+ depending on depths from 15-100+ foot in my serves in mid sw NS which is 6c colder then previous years in my studys

These are not extreme weather patterns, these are normal. Every 30 to 40 years we are hits with extreme cold and wet system locally. Unless you were born and spent your entire life in my area you would never know it. Locally we just had the blizzard and according to the news it was extreme weather , danger Mr Robinson! but if you live in this area for multiple Generations then you know that this happens every rough 100 years. We have multiple historic news stories of this exact same thing happening. The Donner Party is a good example. Texas once in a great while plunges into a deep freeze. The last time people literally froze to death while standing. That weather pattern makes the current extream weather pattern seem like spring break. That was actually multiple States. What is happening now has happened before and it will happen again. Pay attention to the past and you will know what to do in the future.

I was in Mexico for this storm, and the jet stream dipped so far south, our train trip through the Copper Canyon of Mexico was cancelled because the train got stuck in the snow and it was over a month before the train was able to get out of its snow bank in the canyon. Friends still living in the Eastern US had an extra week of spring break, and none of us knew what the rest had experienced until we started sharing stories at reunions....

Recently discovered this channel and love it! Interesting and well researched topics, great presenters and editing. Keep up the good work!

Why in the world did the KZfaq overseers (or algorithm) feel the need to slap a "climate change" context tag on this video?!?

13" in snow in the 93 blizzard...laughs in NY.

I saw this man's forecast and took it seriously. I worked on a small cruise ship that sailed into the Gulf of Mexico. Thank God the cruise was canceled at the last minute.

I was born in 86, so was 7 years old, northeast Georgia, we got more ice than snow but had like 3 inches of ice, snow, the ice, then snow. Thank god for atvs and wood stoves

Don't be daft. it is just messing with the Jet stream. not worth a video, every school kid should know this just by watching the weather reports!

This channel should be named PBS US, not Terra.

Omg I grew up in Huntsville, Al (granddad helped design that rocket you can walk under and see from the highway) and the most we got was some ice from freezing rain. I'd never seen real snow until I moved to DC! I moved in 92, the year before the big one hit

Ms. May; I really like the way you presented and narrated the story. Keep up the good work!

Love this video series. Thank you for producing. Always informative. I remember this storm!

I remember that storm!!! My sister was tiny (born Jan '92) and we got several inches of snow in Gautier (little city on the Gulf Coast). People were freaking out, and to be honest even I was astonished. We'd moved from western Texas, where the temps would get in the negatives but you still didn't get SNOW because it was the desert. The humidity of my first Mississippi summer - I thought I was going to die. To then see more snow at once that I'd EVER seen in Texas was - well it wasn't scary but it was weird for sure. I was in high school and every one of my classmates had wild stories to tell, about having to pull out hurricane supplies, and huddling together with their families in their kitchens or in front of fireplaces that had always been decorative... But the man in the blue shirt is absolutely right. We've got to plan for the worst extremes, we HAVE to accommodate and expect hotter summers and nastier storms at every time of year. There's more energy in the system: EVERYthing is going to get more intense until the system rebalances. It's on us to make sure we survive, that our animals and crops survive.

Yeah, I'm going to do it, too... I'm a New Yorker, and I was at school in southern Virginia when that storm hit. We didn't get much snow (by NY standards), maybe 2-3 inches. But we DID get a ton of freezing rain and ice that layered up on trees and power lines. Because it was VA, everything was already in full bloom and some trees were already beginning to leaf out, so an incredible number of venerable trees (that had survived many other storms) came down, and basically anything fruit-bearing, didn't, that year. Power outages were widespread, and my university closed for 3 days-- they just didn't have the capacity to deal with that much ice. (If there was a wing plow or sander anywhere in the county, I would've been shocked.) Luckily, the temps rebounded as quickly as they'd dropped, so everything melted relatively quickly.

Somewhere I have a picture from that event of my kids playing in the snow in Pensacola Florida. We occasionally get some snow flurries and some freezing rain, but nothing like that event. We had several inches of snow on the ground, in March, in Northwest Florida.

We were basically stuck in our house in Northern Virginia for almost a week because of the deep snow. Thankfully we had a wood burning stove because the power was out for days. Once the plows finally managed to get to the main roads, you'd drive along with mountains of snow piled on either side and you could hardly tell where you were because all you could see was the snow piles.

I lived in Louisiana in 1993, and that storm was rough! It was the worst snow/ice I've ever witnessed. That's still the longest I've ever been without power. Luckily we didn't have any pipes burst, but a lot of houses around us did. I forgot all about depending on the radio until you mentioned it. I was in middle school, so I thought it was cool getting a week off. We were using trash can lids and boards as sleds on the highway, because nobody was even trying to drive.

The St Patrick's Day Blizzard brought Syracuse NY 42.9 inches of snow. People were snowmobiling and cross-country skiing on city streets. I shoveled my off-street parking space (and my car) every 4 hours, and on the 3rd day they plowed my street - lots of shoveling after that!

My family moved to the San Francisco bay area in '91 after almost 30 years in Wisconsin and 6 years in Colorado. Polar vortex? Ha ha, missed me! Seriously, another well done video. I'm proud to be a subscriber.

I was a freshman in HS when that blizzard happened... it was wild... you would go outside and it was just dead quit everywhere, no cars, no power for days, no light, as a kid I found it very peaceful, but youth paints with a different brush

I live in the foothills of the Appalachians in western NC.... I was 13 and my sister was home from college for Easter break we woke up cold the power was out and we piled into my parents bed to keep warm, the power went out shortly after my father left for work and luckily came back on around noon.... my father who was a former marine got up basically in the middle of it to go to work.... he knew what was forecast.... it didn't matter, if he could go he did.... 45 miles later in 15" to 24" of snow he got to work only to find out that the roof of his plant/factory had collapsed from the wet heavy snow igniting the gaslines of the heaters mounted on the ceiling.... him and the few others that made it helped the fire fighters finish up and then spent the next month removing the wreckage by hand / shovel..... meanwhile about 20 miles west my aunt, uncle, and cousins who were coming in from Minnesota 😂 for Easter were stranded on I-40 and ended up walking roughly a mile to the next exit where they found a packed dinner the stayed open all night to provide food and shelter for the stranded people.... about 40 miles west the national guard were called in to rescue people or drop supplies by helicopter (and occasionally by Humvee when possible) to those in and around the various state and national parks buried in snow....

27” of tight wind locked drifted snow…we used dozers, backhoes and heavy tractors to move the stuff…I remember it well!

I love learning about how these weather patterns work. And the way this is presented is excellent! Maiya May does an outstanding job. 👍Thank you .

At 54 I've seen climate change quite a bit in Iowa. Winters in north central and central Iowa even 30 years ago USED to mean snow and cold. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing were feasible roughly from the end of November to the middle of February or begining of March. Now snowmobiles are rare unless you haul to northern minnesota or to the Rockies and Ice fishing season is measured in weeks instead of months.

That is a very interesting finding! My personal story is that I don't particularly remember the storm of 1993. I was/am in central NJ near Philadelphia. My son was born a few months later in July. I DO remember the 1996 or 1997 storm when he was 3 or 4 years old: I remember measuring 22" or 23" in my yard. Got some great video of my son in that storm. I'm going to have to go back and see if I have any pictures from 1993. Great reporting!

Ms May provided an intelligent yet understandable narration about this subject. It's obvious she knows her stuff and is not just a talking head. Thank you.

I can remember Lake Stevens freezing over it doesn't anymore my dad drove a Model T on the ice when he was a kid on Lake stevens!

I was living in Allentown PA in 1993, the snow fell on Saturday, I went out a few times to shovel on Saturday to keep ahead if it, but it was blowing so hard I decided I had to wait until the snow ended. Sunday I spent most of the day shoveling the driveway and sidewalks, we had something like 21 to 23 inches of snow. I had everything finished before dark Sunday, so Monday morning I drove in to work as usual, turns out they had closed (for the first time ever!) because of the snow. I worked for awhile and then went home. I guess for areas that aren’t used to snow (like Alabama) it was a problem, but for areas that see 2’+ snowfall every other decade or so it wasn’t that big a deal.

North East Canada was hit too. Toronto and east was knocked out. We refer to it as the ice storm of '93. Friends were in -30°C temp for 2 weeks with no power.

I am from Tallahassee, Fl, but I was going to college in northern Indiana. So many people I went to school wtih got stuck in or near Atlanta coming back from spring break. I had planned to go home and hang out with friends the week before that storm and it was just a chance to make some extra money at time where I was especially broke that kept me from it. I'd have been right in the worst of it, too, because my route to and From Tallahassee at that time was taking I-65 to 231 to I-10 and then reversing that home.

In 1993 I was still living in California, so I didn’t see anything like that. I’ve been living in the central part of the US since 2003. Winter has been a lot different, for me at least.

What I took away from this video is that no matter our bickering in America we will put aside our differences and come together in times of crisis. 🇺🇸 🫡

I was in DC during the '93 snowpocalypse. I believe that's the year that term was coined. March '93 was a crazy storm. I'll never forget it! The weather in DC that summer was weird too.

The storm of ‘93 was really impressive, the tail of the extratropical had a very powerful cold front which caused a 10-12’ storm surge in the big bend area of Florida. That’s way more than even Hurricane Idalia last summer.

I remember this well. I was headed to FL for Spring Break. My first trip to FL! Ruined my Spring Break!! :)

Love these videos. Great job explaining such complex topics

I look forward to these videos, I learn so much! I am old enough to vividly remember both the winters of 1977 and 1993; both severe where I live, in the snow belt of NW PA. Are these two winters connected?

I was in my Soph year at Alabama. Playing baseball. The field was covered with about 2 inches of snow, & we were stuck in doors for 2 days. REALLY weird.

Nature will always seek balance

Yes, I was there. I shoveled 3 feet of snow out my driveway in the Catskill Moutains of NY and tried to drive to Syracuse, where I went to college. I made it all the way up to Canajoharie, but they had closed I-90. I finally got to campus the next day after a night in a motel, but they cancelled classes for the first time in SU's history. All this in a front wheel drive Ford Taurus.

Thank you for sharing. These are the best deep dives; I never miss an episode.

I remember the superstorm of 93, I was living in Ringgold, GA, I was like 3 and I wasn't even in school yet, our power was out for nearly a week, the snow was over my head, you couldn't see the roads, sounds of sirens, chainsaws and trucks day and night for several days after the snow ended. The town and surrounding towns of towns were completely paralyzed from the otherworldly amount of snow for the south. Snowdrifts several feet high, over 10ft high in some spots. I honestly believe we aren't very far off from another one like it.

Really nicely explained and presented. Such a difference from alarmists who just want to frighten people by shouting at them. This convinces me! And in central 🇬🇧 my lawn has been cut 3 times in last 5 weeks. Well done .. keep it up.

Thank god you guys are FINALLY linking your sources. I mean i only learned that in MIDDLE SCHOOL, it was only a matter of time the PBS organization would catch on. Good job lil bros.

Joining the Maiya May fan club. Seriously well-prepared, she presents the science, info and history in an engaging and human way... things we need to know and understand. Thank you!

I was in Baltimore in 93 and I remember our doberman running away. In the middle of the day it was like dusk. I wasn't going to chase that dog in the deep snow, so I tried everything you can imagine to get him to come back. Finally I stood on the front porch and ran the can opener. He was only out for about a half an hour but it was very stressful for me. Dobermans have really thin fur.

I love the presenter and the editing. Simply excellent videos each time, great job!

I could listen to her talk forever! Great and informative video - thanks!

Southern states should pitch up on plows. You only need them in 1 or 2 cities per year, so the state should invest in them instead of municipalities.
