The Ash Wednesday Storm caused everything from feet of snow to high
winds and extensive coastal flooding. The storm which formed on March 5,1962, stalled along the mid-Atlantic coast and blasted areas with heavy
precipitation, gales and storm surge for days. Two feet of snow fell
from Charlottesville to Winchester, Virginia, with 18 inches of snow
falling as far north as the middle of Pennsylvania. Over 40 people were
killed, over 1,000 others were injured and damage reached $200 million
1962 dollars.
