On this date in 1993, a calendar-day record 2.7 inches of snow fell. It was a light, powdery snow as temperatures hovered in the 20s. But it was just an appetizer for the “Storm of the Century,” which was to come three weeks later. On March 12 and 13, a monster storm produced 6 to 14 inches of snow and ice across the region, along with strong winds.
