March 1960 nor'easter
The March 1960 nor'easter was a severe winter storm that impacted the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions of the United States. The storm ranked as Category 4, or "crippling", on the Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale.
==Synoptic history==
A cold high pressure area extended from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic coast preceding the storm.〔Kocin and Uccellini, p. 383〕 On March 2, a storm system in the Gulf of Mexico moved northward.〔Kocin and Uccellini, p. 385〕 The low intensified as it entered the Ohio Valley on March 3, and a secondary cyclone formed near the coast of South Carolina along a coastal front. Following the development of the secondary low, the primary system strengthened slowly before dissipating around 15 hours later. The new storm rapidly strengthened; between 0600 UTC on March 3 and 1200 UTC on March 4, it deepened 45 millibars. Initially tracking quickly to the northeast, the nor'easter slowed significantly as it approached New England and reached its peak strength. Strong northeasterly flow, combined with the storm's slower forward motion, enhanced snowfall across the region.〔 The cyclone began moving away from the United States on March 5. It took place during a stormy period in the affected region,〔Kocin and Uccellini, p. 384〕 contributing to record snowfall totals in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
