This book chronicles the many stories that came out of the January 1888 Blizzard that in time has become known as the Children's Blizzard due to the many numerous children that died from the extremely frigid weather that swooped down from the north on an unsuspecting population due to the very warm conditions that preceded it. This is an extremely powerful book on the brutal conditions that one can find themselves in when the weather goes from deceptively mild to absolutely inhospitable for most life forms! This book will allow you to see just how important the weather forecasts are to our very lives. I don't think I will ever take the forecast for granted after reading this book. Thank god that our technology has advanced to the point where we generally get many hours if not several days warning of expected bad weather.
