The Great Northeast Snowstorm of 2013
Though here in Batesville we may declare it a massive blizzard if we get more than six inches of snow, in the Northeast parts of the country people are experiencing a true blizzard. The article states, "hundreds of drivers had been caught on highways by Friday's fast-moving storm", many drivers were stranded with no way home. Just recently in Batesville we got about 11" of snow, which turned out to be more than enough to basically shut down the city for a while. I personally braved the storm and drove east to where it had not snowed as much and power was not a problem. The article also mentions, "About 650,000 lost power in eight states at the height of the storm", this was one of the first times that this many homes were powerless. Electrical power at my house is normally not a problem for some reason, we live toward Cushman and seldom lose power. Here in the most recent storm we were without it for a while, but once Entergy got caught up we shut off the gas fireplace and were back to normal.
