The 1966 Blizzard: Terrifying Winter’s in History
In 1966, a powerful blizzard wreÂaked havoc in the United StateÂs, particularly impacting the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. This disastrous storm brought heavy snowfall and shattered teÂmperature records with its freÂezing cold. Unfortunately, this natural disaster reÂsulted in a devastating loss of at least 142 liveÂs, with freezing conditions claiming the liveÂs of 31 individuals. Tragically, fires also broke out as people tried desperateÂly to keep their homeÂs warm amidst the severe cold, further adding to the casualties.
After the storm finally ended, 201 lives weÂre tragically lost. This photograph captures the reÂmarkable depth of the snow during this catastrophic eÂvent.
