episode_narrativeOn January 7th, more than 2 feet of snow fell across much of the lower Susquehanna Valley with 12 to 18 inches falling across the central mountains from Johnstown and State College east to Wilkes-Barre. Parts southern York County had in excess of 3 feet of new snow. The storm was appropriately termed the Blizzard of '96. Snow began falling during the morning of January 7th and continued into the early morning of the 8th. Transportation and commerce came to a halt as cities of south central Pennsylvania were buried under the heavy snow. New snow of 38 inches was reported in southern York County at Glenville. Two feet or more was reported near Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon and York. The storm had a major impact on commerce across south central PA, and was to set the stage for the Great Flood on the 19th. Details of the economic impact are included with the summary of the flood.
