America's Deadliest Blizzard Ever - 1966

America's Deadliest Blizzard Ever - 1966 The Blizzard of March 1966 wasn't just a storm. It was three days that tested the Great Plains like nothing in history. A "bomb cyclone" collided with an arctic high, creating winds over 100 mph that turned the soil and snow into "Snirt"—a concrete-like substance that slammed into houses and sealed families inside in total darkness. On March 2nd, visibility dropped to absolute zero. Massive locomotives like the North Coast Limited were stopped dead in their tracks, entombed under twenty feet of ice. While cattle froze standing upright in the fields, utility workers walked over telephone lines, standing on snowdrifts thirty feet high. When the most technologically advanced nation on Earth found itself powerless against the wind, people realized this was a disaster they would never forget. This is the story of the storm that buried America alive, and the people who survived the "White Death."
