According to the template, there were more blizzards in the past 12 years than the previous 100. It seems that every recent snowfall has made it in here, but older storms are only included if they were extremely significant. This is possibly the worst case of recentism I've ever seen.
I'd appreciate a discussion over how significant a storm must be to be included, but if there's no input in the next week or so, I'll formulate some criteria myself. ypnypn ( talk) 02:50, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Why are the blizzards in the 1980's being omitted from this navbox? The New York Metropolitan Area had two in the early-1980s; One in 1982 and the other in 1983. The on in '82 was actually known for occurring in April and forced the New York Yankees to postpone their opening day game. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 14:42, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Tonight, there was a 1 hour show on PBS about the great blizzard of 1949. I was amazed to not find an article on Wikipedia about it.

The Tornado outbreak of November 27–30, 2016 and Tornado outbreak of February 28 – March 1, 2017 events don't belong in this template. They had no major ice/snow components in them. The rationale that the latter had snow on its northern side and is included in 2016–17 North American winter doesn't render it appropriate to include them in the template. Having some snow as part of a system does not make the system a "major" snow or ice event, and inclusion in the winter article is irrelevant to the issue, as the winter article is not limited to winter storms. The template is getting unwieldy as it is; it makes no sense to be including articles that don't even use the words "ice" or "snow" in them. This template was designed for major ice and snow storms, not major storm systems that had any amount of snowfall. The "major" describes the words "snow" and "ice", not "events".

I plan on making major changes to this template as I was able to transfer most of the information to a list article: List of major snow and ice events in the United States. rather than delete the template I feel that it would be better to repurpose it to include the " North American winter" related articles. The lists can also be linked here in another column. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 15:54, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
This template should reflect the corresponding article - List_of_major_snow_and_ice_events_in_the_United_States. ~ Destroyer 🌀 🌀 20:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
