Should the Impact section be organized by region ("Washington, D.C.", "New Jersey") or by category ("Utilities", "Transportation")? -- AySz88 ^ - ^ 20:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this, along with all the other blizzard articles on Wikipedia, be renamed American Blizzard of 2006 (or whatever the year was)?. The current titles are rather US centric. Billy H 22:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
If we had an extra article about every weather condition that caused some trouble in some part of the world in history it would soon become the main topic at wikipedia... Get-back-world-respect 22:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Historical snowstorms like this one deserve to be on Wikipedia. Faz90 00:47, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
I said to myself at 10:00 this morning...."Should I create the article?" Eight hours later, I typed it in the search, thinking the same thing. But.....you guys are good, man! :) Good work! Deckiller 23:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Current forecasts there are for lesser amounts of snow (6-12 inches/15-30 cm) but with winds gusting up to 50 mph (80 km/h) in general, except up to 70 mph (110 km/h) on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. CrazyC83 01:09, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
In this article, I noticed that every picture is from New York City. Other cities should also have pictures, since this storm didn't only affect New York. Faz90 02:57, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
When I was watching the Weather Channel, I noticed they said and showed what the blizzard's official name was. But I could not write it down and didn't remember all of it. It was something like; "Southeastern New England Pre-Valentine Blizzard of 2006" (quite a mouthful!). Can anybody confirm this? Icelandic Hurricane 12:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I swaped the NY City Hall and "Hurricane eye" picture. Why? Becuase most storm articles have a satalite image in their infoboxes. I just made them swap places.
I like this page so much that I feel that it should be nominated as a Featured Article. Anyone agree or disagree? CrazyC83 01:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
My advise

Try a Good Article nomination first. IMHO, this is not a Featured Article, but a good case could be made for a good article. - Runningonbrains 14:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't know who gave the name to this article but it is too vague. There is many blizzards in North America every year. This one has affected the EastCoast of the US and the Canadian Maritimes and should be named in this fashion. It did not affect the whole of the continent and many persons can claim that there was an equally devastating blizzard in the Prairies, in Ontario or in the Great Plaines in 2006 and it was not that one!

I think if you want to have this pass GA, then you probably want to shorten the intro, without losing any info. Plus, I think a storm history section should be made. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 22:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
In short, the prose is not sufficiently readable, the organisation of the state-by-state coverage poor, the dearth of Canadian information means it is not broad in its coverage, and it could really use some sort of snowfall map, even one made yourselves that just listed snowfall readings in the appropriate locations would be useful.
At the moment, this article cannot pass GA. However, the opening section is quite strong (if, again, missing Canada), and the facts (except Canadian) are well-documented and useful. I'm putting the article on hold, as it's not too far from GA. Please leave me a note in my talk page when ready for a re-review. Adam Cuerden talk 23:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
It would be interesting for someone to add something about Quebec, considering that the winter in Quebec is green when it's usually home to more snow than most (if not every) areas affected by this blizzard. -- 67.68.21.163 06:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I married my husband on Sunday February 12th, 2006 in Easton, PA. The wedding stayed on schedule despite the storm. I lived in Somerset, NJ and had much reason to worry how to get on the interstate from my parents' house to the church. The 50-mile trip along the interstates was tough but we all got there. It's the most memorable day of my life and I got the best outdoor decorations -- lots of snow! And it was fun being seen by other passengers who smiled as they saw me in the car.

What are the windspeeds of the storm? I am sure the peak winds are hurricane force or strong-tropical-storm force. 76.124.224.179 ( talk) 19:43, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Do you think we should put a track for this storm? Typhoon2013 ( talk) 18:48, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
