Blizzard of 1966 Sweeps Dakotas Leaving Toll of Deaths
A mid March blizzard paralyzed the northern plains from Montana to Minnesota. Winds over 100 mph, drifts up to three feet, and heavy snow halted travel for days. It claimed 18 lives, froze homes, and led to dramatic rescues including the Mettler family two miles from home and three Fort Yates coaches stranded near Mandan. Rescue crews aided survivors as bitter cold and whiteout conditions persisted.
