“It fell like powdered sugar, brittle, yet airy and without direction as it covered the land under an unforgiving tomb.” ― H.S. Crow

 “The blizzard, created when an enormous trough of cold air rushing in from the Arctic had met up with an equally enormous influx of warm, wet air from the gulf, gobbled up everything in its path. The collision generated a force of energy no one could remember seeing in their lifetimes, but that all would talk about with wonder until the day they died.”

― Melanie Benjamin, The Children's Blizzard
