[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1313890, member: 16769"] 50 years ago today started probably the worst blizzard SD and ND ever saw. I was in my early teens then, in Selby, SD. It started on March 2nd and roared for 3 days. Our single story house in the 1,000 horse town was buried to the roof eves; friends in the country had to get out via 2nd story windows. Cattle frozen on their feet -- acres of cattle frozen on their feet. Tens of thousands of stock lost. 30 inches of snow on the ground, with drifts up to 30 feet tall as winds went up to near 70 mph. Rail lines blocked, freeways blocked. People died between the house and the barn. Thank the Lord many of those Dakota homes had (and have) basements -- was a lot warmer down there. Something you never forget. [/QUOTE]
