Blizzard of 1888 remembered as worst East Coast blizzard
The Blizzard of 1888 stunned Washington, New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia burying towns under heavy snow. It stranded trains and ships, disrupted lines, killed hundreds and left survivors recalling "Blizzard Monday" for decades. New York logged 21 inches as 75 mph winds wrecked the city while relief funds and immigrant shovelers helped, with annual Blizzard Men gatherings noted by Leslie's Weekly.
