 Definition: 

Blizzard
The true story of the March 12, 1888 blizzard that blanketed the United States from Virginia to Maine. Since weather forecasting didn`t exist at the time, no one knew that such a fierce storm was coming and so for three days and nights people suffered under the continually falling snow and hurricane force winds. This book, based on newspaper articles and personal accounts, focuses on people and events in the New York City area.
