Technically this storm did not even reach the criterion needed to be called a Blizzard. Winds needed to blow constantly at 35 MPH for more than 3 hours, but it failed to do so! What a storm irregardless!
@willowfellow Trenton, NJ was a reporting station that did report true blizzard conditions. No other station technically did report the required 3 straight hours of the conditions you described, but reading between the lines, many areas experienced a true blizzard in that general area. I know where I live east of Trenton a few miles from the shore at Sandy Hook, we had near 30" with very powerful winds
@willowfellow Back in the day before they lowered the standards, as is commonplace everywhere, it used to have to be sub-20*F and with visibility below 1/4-mile. Very hard to get that in the big cities of the NE. Still this storm was pimp!
I remember this, my poor 87 Plymouth Duster completely disappeared under a mound of snow in my home state of NJ

Fail at 7:20: The February 1983 snow was wet as shit, 8-11:1 ... this one was rather dry 12-16:1.

I hope no one got paid to write those government shutdown jokes.
