LOL, yup, that's the one, March 13, 1993, the Storm of the Century. 
This area usually only gets about 4 inches of snow a year, usually over 
two dumpings of about 2 inches each, (we get more ice than snow, 
usually), but in 1993, it was a blizzard for real.  50 mph winds, 2 feet 
of snow that created white out conditions and 5-7 foot drifts.  A fire 
truck came and picked me up for work as it was the only vehicle that 
would make it through.  It was interesting, for sure.
