The Blizzard of 1888
In spite of these advances in their struggle against snow, the notorious "Blizzard of 1888" paralyzed the Northeast after three days of snow, wind, and freezing weather. During the blizzard, between 0.75 and 1.25 meters (2.5 and 4 feet) of snow fell, and drifts were reported to cover entire first stories of buildings. Carts and carriages in the streets were abandoned and buried by snow as drivers realized the futility of their endeavors. Schools, city railroads, and public offices were closed, and even New York's elevated railways were victim to the mounting drifts. Passenger trains headed for New York were trapped for two days in drifts exceeding 6 meters (20 feet), and jammed the tracks for more than 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) outside of the city. More than 400 people lost their lives in this storm.
