Abstract:

This article reviews some significant past winter storm events in the town of Tarboro. Earliest notation is the winter of 1848. The winters of 1856 and 1857 were particularly active. In January 1857, it was reported that the Tar River had frozen over. With some successive snow falls , the thermometer eventually reached 5 below zero. Most notorious was the 1927 blizzard that stopped all forms of traffic, including, railroad trains from the Norfolk area.
