Ah, Superstorm 1993. I was student teaching in Altoona, PA at the time. Science teacher of course. Anyway, I remember my supervisor teacher talking to another teacher who asked him how much he thought they’d get in Altoona and he said “1-2”. The other teacher said “inches” and my supervisor said “no feet”. I borrowed a meterstick on Friday and we stopped at the store to get some things and hunkered down. My downstairs neighbor in a VW hatchback decided to go out about 10 or 11 am on Saturday morning and got stuck on the driveway ramp to our under apartment garage since we were at about 6-7″ at that point and the driveway wasn’t plowed. Needed to get pulled out with a chain once they cleared the road a few days later. I still have pictures of me standing in the driveway with snow above my knee leaning on the meterstick. I believe it was 28″ in State College when it finally got down either late Saturday night or overnight into Sunday. At the time it was the biggest snowstorm I had ever been involved with (only to be outdone by the Philly area 30″ a few years later. We didn’t have student teaching all the next week. It was the only days off I ever got at PSU (1987-1993) during my six years there getting an Earth Science Degree and a Teaching degree. Each of my kids got at least one weather day if not more in their time at PSU. I believe I played a lot of Sonic on the SEGA 32 or 64 that week. Remember, there was no real internet back then. Only TV and the Wx Channel. Ah, Memories!!!
