Video Shows Blizzard of 2013's Fury in Market Square
This 48-hour time lapse YouTube video captured by Portsmouthwebcam.com shows the winter storm's progression from Feb. 8 to Feb. 9.
As city residents continue to dig out of the Blizzard of 2013, a Portsmouthwebcam.com video captured the winter storm's full wrath in Market Square over a two-day period.
The web cam video provided by SebecTec LLC of Derry depicts the progression of the blizzard from Friday, Feb. 8 through Saturday, Feb. 9. It shows the very beginning of the blizzard as it made its way to the Seacoast and eventually the height of the storm on Saturday night when Congress Street experienced near white out conditions and there were hardly any cars or people downtown.
The Blizzard of 2013 dumped up to 2 feet of snow on the city and continues to pose some difficult snow removal challenges for the city Public Works Department and downtown businesses.
