The 31st anniversary of the 1993 March Blizzard, also known as the 'Storm of the Century,' has been commemorated, highlighting its status as one of the most extreme winter storms to hit the United States. This event, which occurred 31 years ago, is remembered for its significant impact, affecting 26 states with widespread damaging winds, significant snowfall, and blizzard conditions, particularly over the mountains.

The event left many, including residents in Dandridge, TN, trapped by snow with large drifts and without power for several days.
