Question: What year did the Great Appalachian Storm hit the eastern United States during Thanksgiving weekend?
Answer: The Great Appalachian Storm hit in 1950 on Thanksgiving weekend. Considered one of the most damaging and meteorologically unique winter storms to strike the eastern U.S., it delivered as much as 57 inches of snow in the central Appalachians and was considered one of the most widespread and damaging wind events ever recorded over the Northeast. It ended up being the costliest storm on record up until that time.
