1. Blizzard of 93. I was only 11 but we had 22 inches on Big Ridge in Hixson. There were 3-4 foot snow drifts at the top of the ridge that People walked through to get home. Vividly remember the lightning while it snowed.
2. 4/27/11 I believe we had 23 separate tornado warnings in Hamilton county that day with 12 being confirmed. The first lifted before going over my office on Hixson pike around 8:30. Saw shingles and other material falling out of the sky multiple times that day. I have Never seen clouds move like that. First time I have ever watched a radar and genuinely been scared from what was coming from Alabama.
3. Jan 88. I remember being able to sled with a blade runner in that storm. Believe we had 10-12 inches.
4.Jan 28/2014. How much damage can a trace of snow do when the infrastructure is cold? Caught everyone by surprise and had temps in the mid teens. Roads were awful for days.
5. Jan 10 2011. The coldest mid December through January I remember here and nothing has come close. 8.5 inches with that storm and it stuck around for a week.View attachment 146715
Yeah I was in Alabama on 4/27 and I never want to see that ever again. I mean I left 10 years ago and sometimes the news clips still bother me. We weren't even that close to any of them but just to see the scope of it
I mean I knew it was gonna be bad but nobody expected that bad
