The North American blizzard of 1996 was a severe nor'easter that paralyzed the United States East Coast with up to 4 feet (1.2 m) of wind-driven snow from January 6 to January 8, 1996. The City University of New York reported that the storm "dropped 20 inches of snow, had wind gusts of 50 mph and snow drifts up to 8 feet high."
However since then, the city has seen two seasonal totals that have eclipsed the 1995-96 season: In 2009-2010, 78.7 inches of snow piled up and in 2013-2014, the city tallied 68 inches of snow.
