Alabama snowstorm delay for Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis)

Published in 1993

It was aptly reported as “the Snowstorm of the Century.” The late winter storm was unprecedented with blizzard-like conditions the night of 12 March 1993. Central Alabama bore the brunt of the heavy, wet snow, which averaged 12 to 17 inches in depth. It caused great inconveniences and many emergencies for those unable to cope with its destruction and utility outages.
