The Great Appalachian Storm of 1950 — America’s Forgotten Winter Disaster

In November 1950, a rare collision of Arctic air, a distorted jet stream, and stalled atmospheric systems produced one of the most significant winter storms in U.S. history. Over Thanksgiving week, snow, ice, extreme cold, flooding, and hurricane-force winds swept across 26 states, disrupting daily life and reshaping entire regions. The event also marked a milestone in meteorology. Data collected from the storm contributed to early computer-based weather modeling and laid groundwork for the forecasting systems used today. This is not just a story about a storm, but about preparation, resilience, community, and how history is shaped by events few see coming.
