The Northwest plains have weather that is not for the faint of heart. Even this past year a prolonged arctic outbreak struck the area and the Farmer’s Almanac predicted a snow train coming down from Canada. The Children’s Blizzard is also known as the Schoolhouse Blizzard or the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard. In the 1940s, a group of seniors organized the Greater Nebraska Blizzard Club to collect and organize survivors’ stories to try and record the sense of sheer terror of that day.
