Raise your hand if you remember Richmond's blizzard of 1996.

ICYMI (or were just a wee snowflake at the time), here’s what happened: The weekend of January 6-8, 1996, Virginia was hit with over a foot of snow.

While the day did bring its fair share of aggravation like power outages and even a collapsed building in Louisa, residents around Richmond have plenty of fond memories as well.
