Great Blizzard of 1888
March 19 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Event Navigation
The Great Blizzard of 1888 was among the first photographed natural disasters in the city’s history. Weather historian Rob Frydlewicz of the NYC Weather Archive blog uses some of the most indelible images to take us back to the days of a storm without parallel. A time before subways and snowplows, when 24 million cubic yards of snow had to be removed by hand.
Rob brings to LW! tales of the heroic and the tragic and a story of the Great Blizzard that has never been forgotten.
