List edit Satellite image of the 1993 Storm of the Century , the highest-ranking NESIS storm Snow drifts from the North American blizzard of 1996 A car almost completely buried in snow following the January 2016 United States blizzard Surface weather analysis of the Great Blizzard of 1888 on March 12 Snowfall from the North American blizzard of 2007 in Vermont There are two available values for NESIS. The original values that Paul Kocin and Louis Uccellini computed for storms in their original 2004 work "A Snowfall Impact Scale Derived From Northeast Storm Snowfall Distributions" and the NESIS storm values recomputed using some different data and differing methods by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in 2005 to productionize their work for assigning values to future storm storms beyond Kocin/Uccellini work. Kocin/Uccellini originally computed NESIS values for 70 storms from 1888 to 2003. The NCDC recomputed NESIS values for 30 of the same storms and has since for newer storms beyond 2003.
Storms pre-2005 use the Kocin/Uccellini rating and description. Storms 2005 and onward use the NCDC rating and description. NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information publishes a list of storms with ratings and other information, starting with the March 1956 storm.

The Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale NESIS is a scale used to categorize winter storms in the Northeast United States 1 The scale was developed by meteorologists Paul Kocin and Louis Uccellini and ranks snowstorms from Category 1 notable to Category 5 extreme Only two historical blizzards the 1993 Storm of the Century and the North American blizzard of 1996 are rated in the 5 extreme category The scale differs from the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale and Fujita Scale which are used to classify tropical cyclones and tornadoes respectively in that it takes into account the number of people affected by the storm 2 The scale as devised is intended chiefly to assess past storms rather than assist in forecasts 3 Description of the NESIS scale Contents 1 List 2 See also 3 Footnotes 4
