The Great Blizzard Of 1966 On The Northern Plains
The Harbinger was brief as a blizzard struck the northern Great Plains in March 1966. Snow, winds above 100 mph, and drifts up to three feet halted life across the Dakotas and northern Minnesota. Eighteen lives were lost and many houses farms and roads were devastated as rescuers aided survivors and searched stranded communities.
