- The 1993 Storm of the Century (also known as the 93 Superstorm, The No Name Storm, or the Great Blizzard of '93/1993) was a cyclonic storm that formed over the Gulf of Mexico on March 12, 1993. The cold weather, heavy snowfall, high winds and storm surges that the storm brought affected a very large area; at its height, it stretched from Canada to Honduras. The cyclone moved through the Gulf of Mexico and then through the eastern United States before moving on to eastern Canada. It eventually dissipated in the North Atlantic Ocean on March 15. Heavy snow was first reported in highland areas as far south as Alabama and northern Georgia, with Union County, Georgia reporting up to 35 inches (89 cm) of snow. Birmingham, Alabama, reported a rare 13 in (33 cm) of snow. The Florida Panhandle reported up to 4 in (10 cm) of snow, with hurricane-force wind gusts and record low barometric pressures. Between Louisiana and Cuba, the hurricane-force winds produced high storm surges across the big bend of Florida which, in combination with scattered tornadoes, killed dozens of people. Record cold temperatures were seen across portions of the Southern United States and Eastern United States in the wake of this storm. In the United States, the storm was responsible for the loss of electric power to more than 10 million households. An estimated 40 percent of the country's population experienced the effects of the storm with a total of 208 fatalities. In all, the storm killed 318 people, and caused $5.5 billion (1993 USD) in damages. The greatest recorded snowfall amounts were at Mount Le Conte in Tennessee, where 56 inches (140 cm) of snow fell, and Mount Mitchell in North Carolina, the tallest mountain in eastern North America, where 50 inches (130 cm) were measured to fall and 15-foot (4.6 m) snow drifts were reported.

- Storm of the Century 1993, även kallad Superstorm 93, eller (Great) Blizzard of 1993, var en stor tropisk cyklon (orkan) som skapats i Mexikanska golfen den 2 mars 1993 och varade till 15 mars 1993. Den är unik för sin intensitet, massiva storlek och räckvidd. När den hade sin största omfattning, sträckte den sig från Kanada mot Centralamerika, men framför allt handlade det om östra USA samt Kuba. Stormen flyttade sig genom Mexikanska golfen, och sedan genom östra USA och slutligen in i Kanada. Sydliga platser som centrala Alabama och Georgia fick 6-8 tum (15-20 centimeter) snö, och områden som Birmingham, Alabama, fick upp till 12 tum (30 centimeter) snö, enligt vissa rapporter 16 tum (41 centimeter). Även vid Florida Panhandle rapporterades snöfall på 10 centimeter (4 tum) (sv)
