The recent blizzard that has affected so many states brought to mind my mother's vivid recollections of the Armistice Day Blizzard (Nov. 11-12, 1940) that hit the Midwest. The ability we have now to accurately predict such events is amazing. Back then, no warning - many hunters were caught in the fields resulting in an unfortunate loss of life. Does any one on here remember this storm? I'm sure every region of the country has a weather event that is remembered and then passed down for generation to generation. I'd love to hear some of the stories.
