Great to see Hy Berman. My History Professor at the U of M, as a night student in the 1980's. Professor Berman, I wish you well !

I'm watching this from somewhere in the southern hemisphere where it is now about 40 degrees (104 fahrenheit). Watching it in the hope it will make me feel cooler ...

The book “The Children’s Blizzard” is excellent. I highly recommend it. It was written by David Laskin. I couldn’t put it down. As someone who grew up in southern Minnesota winters with the luxuries of a heated home, a warm school bus, and hot cafeteria lunches, it is just shocking to read of the bravery and resilience of these school children.

I will never understand the location nationalism this country has 😂so you were born somewhere? Why never leave? The people from my hometown would stay there forever-I left immediately. Don’t you want to see other places? Especially when they suck and have nasty winters like this!

Waseca is one of my favorite towns. Used to spend summers in Waterville.

I grew up in the St. Paul area. Every year, Bud Crailing, the weatherman on WCCO, recounted the great Veteran's Day blizzard and all the hunters who died. They went out in shirt sleeves to hunt and the storm descended on them so quickly that they hadn't a chance. Lived through a number of blizzards as a young person but nothing like that!

My mother often talked about that storm. For many years.

Traveling that area is exciting. One Easter we were stuck because they closed the highways due to snow. Earlier in the day in Kansas it was 92.

I lived in west central minn in the 1990's. Experienced a blizzard in 1995. My home's furnace ran almost constantly that evening. Lot of snow, lot of wind, insanely cold temps that lasted for a good stretch of that entire winter. Ufda.

I’m watching this as I look out the window and see the pouring rain on the snowless ground. Christmas Eve Day. Just plain weird.

The armistice day blizzard is well remembered in our MN family. The family went to the movie in Litchfield from the farm in light jackets. That didn't work out great for them.

I read all the books when I was in college. They were wonderful. Never watched the show.

Super bowl blizzard of 1975 was the worst in my time in SW Minnesota. Many died. Cows dead standing up in the fields. Also the ground blizzard of 1981 on the western border.

My grandmother (1913 NY) liked to interview older folks. She asked the oldest person she had ever met, born 1820, what they called fierce storms. The elder cousin said, “We called them blizzards or snow storms.”

Reminds me of the book Giants in the Earth by O. E. Rolvaag. Amazing book of Norwegian immigrants.

Obviously, the word "blizzard" comes from Dairy Queen. Sheesh.

Leave it to Iowa to coin the name Blizzard after fighting...

@kennardjohnson7875 5 ай бұрын

Funny where you think the word blizzard came from, boxing in Iowa in the 1880s,you are many years off and to far north.

The cold weather doesn't cause the common cold, a virus does; and it doesn't mutate into pneumonia, which is caused by bacteria.

@teambeining 5 ай бұрын

I don’t think they meant that. Going through the stress of the blizzard reduced people’s immune systems, making them more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. After 9/11, a lot of people became ill; either worsening of current illnesses or new illnesses. This was across the country and in people not directly affected by the attacks. The extreme stress of disasters will get you.
