Great Storm of 1717 Buried New England in Snow
In spring 1717 a epic snow event struck New England burying the land ten to twenty feet deep. Cattle and sheep perished while bears and wolves raided farmsteads. Houses were engulfed, chimneys disappeared and snow tunnels linked homes as residents braved the long siege. A Newbury man used a damp window to visit a distant fiancée.
