Historical Context

The Winter Storm of 1996, which struck the East Coast in January, dumped over 30 inches of snow in some areas, leading to the cancellation of approximately 1,000 flights. This storm highlighted the region's vulnerability to severe winter weather, similar to past events like the 1978 blizzard, and underscored the need for improved weather preparedness and response strategies in affected communities.
