On January 28, 1977, a storm of such awesomeness and intensity struck Buffalo, New York, that it threatened the very existence of the city. In The Blizzard, Bahr tells the story of that storm and the people caught in its wake, vividly recreating the seven days that pitted man against nature in a dramatic test of survival.
Am doing a change of pace. Going to start reading this book and another "DID IT SNOW IN '77" which isn't listed yet. It is about Preston County West Virginia. It is a Hardback of 11 1/4 x 8 3/4 x 1/4 inches, edited by Richard L. Hopkins, printed and published by Pioneer Press of West Virginia, Inc. These should be fun reading as I've survived several deep snows here in Indiana. 36" in '78. Another in Indy in mid 60's, shoveled knee deep snow for half a block from my alley parking thru a unpaved factory parking lot to the next street. College days!!! Enjoyed both books---Fun reads. Had a hard-time putting these down. I want to visit Preston County, WV to see that part of our country. However, it will be summer time.
