Thirty-one years ago, the historic Blizzard of 1993 hit Pittsburgh.
Snow began falling on Friday night, March 12, just before midnight. Bursts of snow piled up and by daybreak on March 13, about a foot of snow was already on the ground.
After hours and hours of blowing snow and whiteout conditions, a new record was set that day and hasn’t been touched since. It’s the record for the greatest one-day snowfall in Pittsburgh, coming in with an epic mark of 23.6 inches of snow.
