On January 12, 1888 a blizzard arrived suddenly in the great plains, dropped temperatures 50 degrees and killed hundreds of schoolchildren walking home from school.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I think was also the winter of the London Blizzard which killed horses of the horse-drawn carriage fame.
Interesting. Plus the March 1888 nor’easter on the east coast, the biggest snow storm ever to hit there. 4 feet of snow in NY City.

Great writing, really takes you there. You wonder what people 125 years from now will think, reading (if they still can) today’s reporting how the record cold weather was caused by warming.
They will probably think we were very ignorant people.
My grandma was born in a sod house in NE ND in 1890 and she talked about the bad blizzards they used to have when she was little. A neighbor family was caught in a blizzard and the father turned the wagon over so they could take shelter underneath. His wife left and tried to make it home and she was found frozen not far from their doorstep. The father was found frozen on top of their son who survived. My grandma wondered why we didn’t have blizzards like those anymore that lasted three days and I’m sure there were quite a few during her lifetime in northern MN (93 when she died). I don’t know what it says about cycles and “climate change” but it’s an interesting story.

Maybe the storms were just worse in ND!
Thankfully this cannot happen again because kids just aren’t going to know what snow is – “a thing of the past”.
Gaia has been so busy with the polar vortex she forgot about the tropical monsoon entirely.
Thankfully she must have checked her diary as the cloudy rainy weather commenced here dropping maximum temperatures by about 10 C.
That pesky CO2 must really bug Gaia.
The safe, benign, predictable climate of 1888 is a figment of a drug induced imagination.
At least one kind of snow is not a thing of the past for them, huh?
