I was 10 as well and living in central Alabama then. here other side of then. The other side of the coin is that was just about as good as it will ever get in the south, all downhill from there. I do live in Huntsville now, so in theory we could do better, but the last storm in Huntsville with that much snow was in the 60s, so...Im happy that I was just 10 when the superstorm happened. I was pumped about the inch we got, I'm not sure I would feel the same now

'93 is my benchmark storm. Probably won't ever see anything like it again here in Chattanooga. It was just such a unique, destructive beast. Doubled the previous 24 hour snowfall in over 100 years of weather records. The power outages were scary though. Literally 6 foot snow drifts in my backyard and my golden retriever at the time(grhs) would jump into one and disappear completely for 2 seconds.
This was up there for me to. Great bust, ened up barely in double digits with 10 inchesI will always remember the December 9, 2017 storm. Expected 2 to 4 at best myself and got 9 while the NWS was saying 1 to 2. Certainly one of the best busts ever.
It was so strange to see the areas that got the heaviest thump on the overrunning part of the storm also get hit the hardest by the ULL.
From what I remember didn’t the local TV mets in Atlanta pretty much dismiss the city having any significant impacts despite the fact that the NWS had issued a WSW?My older cousin sank in the snow in the March '93 superstorm in NW GA back when he was very young!
My favorite has been 1/28/14 because of the rarity of the situation that unfolded at the location I was at and because it caused such a mess around the southeast. It was so cold while it was snowing and the snow started to show more on the roads/rooftops/sidewalks before the grass (where it ended up freezing roads). I remember trying to walk and slipping and falling on the road.

Yeah but didnt you get dumped on just a few weeks prior in Feb 2010 ?My worst is easy, March 1st 2010. Let's see 992mb low in perfect spot, 850s below zero and probably 1.5" of QPF and a nasty 1-2C layer from 900mb to the surface. I still hate that storm. It is still more hated than missing the big blow in Jan 2011 and missing out completely in Feb 2015.

I hated that storm. Probably my least favorite of all time. We had thundersnow for hours but it only accumulated to maybe 1/2". I hate March snows !Surprised nobody has mentioned the March 1, 2009 ULL. I remember how weird it looked on the radar that afternoon to watch the radar and see the rain changing to snow from SW to NE. We had heavy sleet just long enough during the changeover to make the grass a little crunchy and coat the road with a layer of slush. Then when the snow started it piled up fast even with the temperature just above freezing. I ended up with 8 inches of paste that actually stuck around for a couple days which is unusual for March
