With up to 50 inches of snow dumped across the northeast of the United States, this monster blizzard was aptly dubbed ‘The Great White Hurricane’. Major metropolitan areas like New York faced severe winds of up to 45 miles an hour, drifts of more than 50 feet and floods caused when the snow melted. With fire departments unable to function, the financial losses from fires alone amounted to a staggering $25 million. Human casualties totaled 400, with 200 people dying in New York alone.

If the Great White reappears in 2012, they will paint the dollar loss as so much greater, of course, since 1888 $25M fire damage ~ 2012 $578M to $27.2B according to http://www.measuringworth.com.
So that’s where all the rain went in 1888:
“The Drought of 1888.
DRIEST YEAR ON RECORD.
Special interest attaches to the Rain and Rivers Observations collected and now issued by the Government Astronomer for 1888. That year followed the wettest year recorded in our meteorological annals, and it was itself the driest. The average rainfall of the whole colony, as reported from all stations, was in 1887, 34.99in. In 1888 it was 13.40in.”

Musta been cause the Arctic had completely meted in 1988. At least that’s what a global warmer would tell you.
