Long-time residents of eastern North Carolina and South Carolina may remember this one from almost 50 years ago.

A powerful winter storm from Feb. 9-11, 1973 produced blizzard conditions near the North Carolina coast and up to two feet of snow just outside of Columbia, South Carolina.

As much as 16 inches of snow fell in eastern North Carolina. Wind gusts up to 40 mph created blizzard conditions in the Jacksonville area with near-zero visibility.

The snow closed I-95 near Fayetteville, where news reports indicated over 1,000 travelers became stranded.  

The snow from the unusual winter storm was not confined just to the Carolinas. Parts of Georgia and Alabama saw over a foot of snow. Even sections of the Florida panhandle got up to three inches.
