I remember this like yesterday because on my block in Brooklyn, the snow was piled so high, us kids on the street for 2 days straight played uninterrupted in the snow. Good times.
I just love watching these vids from back in the day this is a few years before I was born love the cars the old signs on the buildings the way ppl spoke...pure vintage!!!!!
@@Iceis_Phoenix when u watch videos from the past I would say 30 years ago and so on you will start to see the spots..the black dots the white spots and as the years go on the lines start cutting through..sorry buddy this too is just the beginning of the golden age. 40 years ago was a damn long time brotha.
I remember this Blizzard. I was a City Bus Operator in 1983.Less than a year on the job. It started snowing in the early afternoon and didn't stop till the next morning. The forecast was a little iffy. They said it might miss us.It didn't 18inches I believe. It took me a least 4 hours to get from City Hall to 96th street. And I think a week later we got hit with another one. The Subways were still running.
I remember this blizzard. I was 9 years old and I lived in queens at the time. I rember my dad opening the front door to our house and there was about 36 inches of snow up against the door. I never forgot that blizzard. People where uncovering the cars from snow to see which was their car. I still remember it as it was yesterday.
I remember this storm..I was 20 years old and working for Merrill lynch...they put us up in a hotel for 2 days because alot of people couldn't get home or weren't able to come back...stood at the holiday Inn in NJ just past the tunnel...Great times
@Maurice Riddick Also PA here and I was a junior in HS but what I remember was the day before the storm of how the skies were crystal clear blue and sun filled!☀️lol
I was 10 years old living in Sunnyside, Queens. Had the day off from school. Will never forget how cool I thought it was for my mom to pull me and my 2 younger brothers on a sled in the middle of the street.
The old cars, the people that are all outside helping each other, the dress code, the old ways, I missed all of that beautiful time, now it’s just non respect of each other, heat and money.
I remember this storm. A bunch of friends who worked together laughed at the weather forecast and we all trooped down to our favorite Indian restaurant Mitali East on 6th street (which I'm sad to see has recently closed) for dinner. When we got out a couple of hours later, we discovered the city was paralyzed. I managed to find my way over to the Port Authority and got a bus home to New Jersey where I lived at the time. Or so I thought. Ended up spending the night on the bus stuck in the snow in Weehawken or someplace like that.
Do you remember that other Indian restaurant near 6th Street, it was basement level, this was forty odd years ago. It was fantastic, I've never forgotten it, Shagorika it was called. Delicious.
Will never forget this one, I had to trek about a mile in waist deep packed snow from the D' Train station at 205th to Gunhill Rd and Hull Ave, till this day I don't now how I did it
I remember this storm. I was working in a hotel restaurant on Central Park South and had to navigate my way home downtown at nite after service. And....love seeing the old H&H Automat on 42nd St near Grand Central. Long gone.
Canadians must be watching this and rolling laughing! I remember the winters of 93, 94 and 96, the last two of which had so many NorEaster storms, dumping snow, storm after storm after storm, dropping so much snow on the Tri-state region. I actually took photos of the blizzard of March 1993, as it covered my sedan. In the winters of 1994 and 1996, I hardly got out of my Timberland boots from January to April. By the following January, I had moved to Los Angeles.
Remember this day quite well too. Was in 3rd grade and I remember because I had a doctor's appointment to remove some stitches which was like going on an excursion into the arctic. Also, my father had to pick up my aunt from the airport and it took him half a day to get from Brooklyn to JFK and back. Not a joke. Even to this day he still talks about how the only thing that saved him from being stranded that day was the '73 Chevy Impala he had at the time which he bought from a salesman and the car was equipped with all wheel drive and a heavy duty transmission to deal with all types of weather. Even with that he barely made it back and the radiator gave out right as he was exiting the Brooklyn Queens Expressway fortunately walking distance to our home. If I remember correctly we got over 3 feet of snow that storm. Sorry for the long message.
Hit on the 2nd Friday of February. From work in South Plainfield I drove home to Middletown NJ, via Garden State Parkway. Thundersnow after I crossed the Raritan River bridge. My '79 Grand Prix (with landau roof!) barely made it. Most of the roads cleared by Monday A.M. I thought, Dang, why couldn't that storm have hit Sunday night???
My wife and I started watching this video and our hands and feet turned ice cold. I'm thinking our bodies was trying to adjust to the weather on the screen. We moved to Tampa from Chicago in 2013. We had to go out and stand in the Sun for a few minutes to knock the chill off. It's 75 degrees here today on Nov 15th. I never want to see snow or feel that freezing cold again.
I got stuck in this blizzard in ninth grade for hours. We told the vice principal of our junior high school that it was going to snow or we needed to go but he says the snow was gonna be that bad look at the snow
Well from the late 1970s I was born into growing up to in New York City 80's 90's that was winter that was wintertime to remember just like how the the rest of Upstate New York gets that kind of winter during the winter time with the snow that's just like how used to be here in the city downstate
I remember this!! I was in public school and they canceled the classes. And there was no school the next day. I went outside with my mom and dad and we were playing in the snow. It was up to my waist!!!
I was in Catholic school and they just had to be open and of course my Mother made me go and the school was juuuussttt emptyyy, place full of nuns. Coulda been home, watchin' Regis & Kathie Lee and I Love Lucy reruns but noooo.
I thought I was the only one looking at the old cars and trucks in this video. I was eyeballing the white Cutlass and the Malibu wagon. Yes indeed, they no longer make them like that anymore.
Remember this snow, we made plans to go to MSG after work on a Fri. for some show like Ice Capades, snow started in the afternoon, early evening, went to show came out still snowing, when we got home in the evening in upper Manhattan cars were getting stuck and abandoned so we walked on the streets. Don't remember how we got home, guess trains were running. That is old NYC. Miss it.
Buddy with the Jeep needed to have way more of a running start, lol ... by the end he's created a wall that won't be going anywhere until a city plow truck comes along or it melts...
Facts: this is how Philly clears its main arteries to this day. The side streets never see a plow. Or plows barricade your vehicle in for a two hour dig out.
Wow, eighth grade was such an interesting time back then….. by 2021 standards, downtown NYC would have been cleared enough to see the blacktop…. Most of today’s crossover vehicles get through this stuff with ease anyway
Cars didn’t want to slow down..momentum was your friend… mostly RWD at the time. Not too many snow blowers at the time. Lived in Sunset Park Brooklyn at the time. Good times.
In the '90s I forgot what year exactly we have 24 in of snow because I was on 32bj Union and we had a strike and we were standing out there for one month freezing our asses off lost pay never got it back for b******* raise.
Get the four wheel drive suburbans to the fdny and nypd and the other ex military vehicles as well for the department of sanction as well the public works convention they should look into more four wheel drive vehicles

1983 was a cold winter indeed. One of the coldest in Alabama for sure. 5 degrees with 15 mph wind chill
I remember this blizzard. It paralyzed the city. School was closed we loved having the extra time off. Played outside til sunset.

I remember this all too well! Thanks for uploading. Brought back memories.
My wife and I were married in May of this year. I was a young rookie on the Fire Dept. Didnt mind the snow, things slowed down and people felt closer.
I think back in the 80 s as a child and some of the. Mid 90: s it used always snow more then now today we don’t get winters like this anymore
Winter in the 70's & 80's in NYC was cold as h8ll. In the early 90's there was this weird warmup.
No shit ever heard of global warming or still think it’s a myth ? If you live in jersey or New York you know it’s not a myth
Yeah, you're right. It was so cold and snowy, winter of 1980 that I left in 1981 for good!
