Podcasts about great blizzard

A few weeks ago, we covered the Blizzard of 1978. But what about the Blizzard of '88... 1888 that is? What about centuries before that? Snow storms are destructive enough in the modern era, but how did Puritans in colonial New England deal with them? We'll also jump 150 years forward to the Great White Hurricane of March 1888. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides as they talk about more winter, more snow, and more cold. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/47082/47082-h/47082-h.htm https://marbleheadmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/pp-187-260-331Winthrop_s_Journal_History_of_New_Englan.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age https://www.colonialsociety.org/node/1742 https://www.dotnews.com/2017/oh-hunger-many-suffered https://www.brancatosnowremoval.com/history-snow-removal-first-snow-plow/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blizzard_of_1888 https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/the-blizzard-of-1888-americas-greatest-snow-disaster Interested in Salem The Podcast Merch!?  CLICK HERE!

As with Django, Corbucci wrote the film with his brother Bruno, as well as Vittoriano Petrilli and Mario Amendola. He'd been deeply influenced by the recent assassinations of Che Guevara, Cuban revolutionary who had tried to spark a Communist overthrow of Bolivia, and the US' Malcolm X, a one-time Nation of Islam leader converted to the Muslim faith and killed at a speaking engagement. As the end of the 60s approached, Corbucci felt that the era of progressive political action was dwindling, to be overtaken by fierce reactionary elements. The earlier activism seemed to him to be hurled backward in progress and time. As Alex Cox noted about Corbucci's thoughts, “You could only take on the powerful and the wicked for a short while, it seemed, before they crushed you.” Corbucci set the film's action in 1899 Utah just prior to the Great Blizzard, the winter scenes reflecting his feelings of pessimism, depression, and disgust. Another influence --- famed Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni had secretly wished to play a role in a Spaghetti but felt his poor English would interfere --- he suggested to Corbucci to pen a film of a mute protagonist. Corbucci adapted the idea into the film sans Marcello --- it would become the second Mud and Blood work, 1968's The Great Silence, a word play on the bleakness of the winter setting and the mute anti-hero. Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

Pippa White shares a historical tale, in the form of poetic sing-song, about a great blizzard that is also known as the children's blizzard. Join us as she brings real life characters to life from this historical event on this Apple Seed BITE.

The Great Blizzard of 1886-1887 is one of the harshest blizzards on record for the Plains states (though at the time, most of them were still territories, not yet admitted as states to the Union). The blizzard is immortalized and made famous for schoolchildren everywhere in Laura Ingalls Wilder's novel, “The Long Winter,” part of her Little House on the Prairie series of books. Wilder weathered this blizzard as a teenager in South Dakota with her family and described her family and the town's hardships during this infamous weather event. It is an extraordinary first-hand account of someone who went through the harsh winter and survived during times before houses had things like electricity, indoor heating, and hot water plumbing.

By February 13, 1899 much of the nation had been suffering under the icy grip of the worst arctic outbreak since the founding of the republic. Records that stand even to today had been set in the days previous to February 13, 1899 and more were to fall in the next few days. Because of the persistent week-long cold, Ice flows had formed in Gulf of Mexico causing a hazard to navigation. The temperature on the morning of February 13, 1899 along the Gulf coast sat at incredibly low readings; -16 degrees Minden, LA a record for state, in New Orleans the mercury was 6.8 degrees; at in Mobile -1 degree; Pensacola 7 degrees; Brownsville Texas was 12 degrees an all time low for the city. Temperatures all the way southward to Ft Myers were in the 20s and snowflakes where observed all across Florida. But father up the East Coast the brunt of the outbreak was being felt as a Great Blizzard paralyzed the region on the 13th and 14th: 36" of snow fell at Cape May, New Jersey. 20.5" at Washington, D.C. and many other areas along the coast saw snowfall totals at more than a foot. The cold finally broke in the following days, after a week of misery, and with the warmup came several inches of rain that on top of melting snow produced flooding in the Northeast.

In the winter of 1978, Muskegon County and most of Michigan saw over 2 feet of snow fall in period of several hours. On our episode today we look at the circumstances that led to this super storm, how residents dealt with it, and the consequences of that blizzard. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-horn/support

1888 was a cold year in the eastern half of he United States. The Great Blizzard of '88, or the Great White Hurricane in March 1888 was one of the most severe recorded blizzards in American history. The storm paralyzed the East Coast as well as the Atlantic provinces of Canada. Snow fell from 10 to 58 inches in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 45 miles per hour produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet. Railroads were shut down and people were confined to their homes for up to a week. Railway and telegraph lines were disabled, and this provided the impetus to move these pieces of infrastructure underground. The winter leading up to the Blizzard had been quite cold with one bitter blast after another. The summer of 1888 returned to more normal temperatures especially in the southern states with usual bouts of heat and humidity. But on September 24, 1888 a sever frost struck South Carolina, Georgia and even reached into northern Florida effectively putting an end to the growing season at least a month and a half early.

Hello Artic friends hope you are staying warm. Today we talk about Stupid World News, Uncle Dickie Drops by we have The Snow Journals of 2021 The Great Blizzard. We got funny porn comments it will be fun everyone.

The Great Blizzard of 1978 was one of the worst storms in Illinois' history. One-hundred-mile-an-hour winds whipped up snow drifts as high as 12 feet. Wind chills were so low they caused railroad tracks to buckle and break. Northern Illinois, especially Chicago, ground to a halt. And a couple of snowed-in computer nerds created a major technological achievement.

It's been 43 years since the benchmark snow storm of a generation took aim on Indiana. We're looking back at some interesting stats, as well as some good stories, including with former WISH-TV weatherman Stan Wood.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We are 43 episodes in, and the Grim Gals have decided that there should be a Trigger Warning for everything but in this episode specifically, we are going to be talking about Nazi's in WWII (not sure if that warrants a TW, but better safe than sorry!). Beyond talks about sinking ships and cities covered in snow, Taylor and Jenni start out with a mini disaster of their own named Donut, unreasonable irritation at life, and general shenanigans. Then Taylor covers the Great Blizzard or Great White Hurricane of 1888. Then Jenni talks about the v horrible sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff.

New York Times bestselling creative nonfiction author, Michael Tougias, joined me to talk about how he translated his success in the true survival genre for younger audiences, his unique research processes, and how he captures the "... heroism and humanity of people on life-saving missions..." during maritime disasters. "You've interviewed these people that have lost loved ones ... They're counting on you to tell the story right, and ... as an author you really do feel that pressure." – Michael Tougias Michael has written or co-written 29 books in a multitude of genres, including history, and humor, but found the most success with his popular true survival, creative nonfiction. He's the author of the bestseller The Finest Hours (now a motion picture from Disney starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck), and Ten Hours Until Dawn (named an Editor's Choice by ALA and praised by Booklist as "the best story of peril at sea since The Perfect Storm"). With his latest "True Rescue Series" – adapted from his popular disaster at sea tales for YA and middle-grade audiences – Tougias is now on a mission to "... ignite the reading passion that he had as a student in young adults." The most recent is Into the Blizzard: Heroism at Sea During the Great Blizzard of 1978, an adaptation of Tougias’ adult book Ten Hours Until Dawn, called “A blockbuster account of tragedy at sea,” by The Providence Journal. The Amazon Best Book of the Month was described by Kirkus Reviews as a "riveting" book that, "Reads like a thriller, suspenseful and ultimately tragic." ** Note: This interview was recorded before the Coronavirus pandemic.

In this file Michael Tougias and I discussed: How he was a "late bloomer" who dreamt of a full-time writing career Why he recommends public speaking for any author or aspiring writer The intense and sometimes heartbreaking research that goes into his true survival and rescue stories Why he likes to always have two projects going at once His take on writer's block, persistence, and why "you can't edit a blank page" And much more ...

On January 26, 1978, a severe blizzard resulted when a relatively rare merger of two distinct upper level waves (one over Texas and one over the Northern Plains)occurred that caused an explosive intensification of a surface low pressure system causing the worst blizzard in Ohio's recorded history. The resultant massive and powerful storm system produced some of the lowest pressure readings ever recorded in the United States mainland: 28.46 inches of mercury at Columbus, 28.68 inches at Dayton, and 28.81 inches at Cincinnati. Even more impressive was Cleveland's record low pressure reading of 28.28 inches, which remains the lowest pressure ever recorded in Ohio and one of the lowest pressure readings on record within the mainland United States, not associated with a hurricane.

By February 13, 1899 much of the nation had been suffering under the icy grip of the worst artic outbreak since the founding of the republic. Records that stand today had been set in previous days and more were to fall in the next few days. The temperature on the morning of February 13, 1899 along the Gulf coast sat at incredibly low readings; -16 degrees Minden, LA a record for state, in New Orleans the mercury was 6.8 degrees; at in Mobile -1 degree; Pensacola 7 degrees; Brownsville Texas was 12 degrees all time low for the city. Temperatures all the way southward to Ft Myers were in the 20s and snowflakes where observed all across Florida. But father up the East Coast the brunt of the outbreak was being felt as a Great Blizzard paralyzed the region on the 13th and 14th Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The December 26th, 1947 blizzard which struck the eastern seaboard of the U.S. saw, In New York, 25.8 inches of snow fall in less than twenty-four hours. It was the worst storm since the Great Blizzard of 1888. Ocean liners were unable to move. Railroad stations were filled with stranded people. Importing and exporting out of New York ground to a halt, and the Nation’s reliance on truck transportation was immediately evident. A fuel strike ensued. By the morning of December 31st, many people had gone without some combination of a newspaper, fresh bread, milk, fuel, or coal for almost a week. Fire officials declared it a state of emergency. Mayor O’Dwyer took the first available plane home from his holiday vacation in southern California. The radio industry was struck as well. On January 1st, James C. Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, instituted a nationwide ban on music recording. The ban was aimed at a provision in the Taft-Hartley Act which criminalized a union's collection of money from members for services that are not performed or not to be performed. It made the AFM's Unemployed Musicians slush fund illegal. To make matters worse, week-over-week consumer inflation was reaching highs not seen in modern U.S. history. As President Truman began his full-scale re-election bid, his National approval rating sat at 32%. New York’s Republican governor Thomas Dewey was positioning himself as the most serious challenger for the Presidency. While in the south, Strom Thurmond was moving towards running on what would come to be known as a “Dixiecrat” ticket.

This year marks the 130th anniversary of one of the worst storms to ever wreak havoc upon New York City, the now-legendary mix of wind and snow called the Great Blizzard of 1888. The battering snow-hurricane of 1888, with its freezing temperatures and crazy drifts three stories high, was made worse by the condition of New York’s transportation and communication systems, all completely unprepared for 36 hours of continual snow. The storm struck on Monday, March 11, 1888, but many thousands attempted to make their way to work anyway, not knowing how severe the storm would be. It would be the worst commute in New York City history. Fallen telephone and telegraph poles became a hidden threat under the quickly accumulating drifts. Elevated trains were frozen in place, their passengers unable to get out for hours. Many died simply trying to make their way back home on foot, including Roscoe Conkling, a power broker of New York’s Republican Party. But there were moments of amusement too. Saloons thrived, and actors trudged through to the snow in time for their performances, And for P.T. Barnum, the show must always go on! This is a re-release of a show we recorded back in 2013. We think the comparisons to Hurricane Sandy that were made in that show feel even more relevant today. Support the show.

You Asked, We Answered! Trascript of the podcast Imagine you are a child playing in the recess yard or an adult going to work. The weather is fine and everything seems normal. Then the next day temperatures drop and a blizzard hits your town and takes over 400 lives. This is what happened to the civilians living in March of 1888. The Great Blizzard of 1888 started on March 11 and ended on March 14. [1] To this day it’s one of the deadliest and snowiest storms recorded in the United States. Becky Oskin from Livescience.com ranks the Great Blizzard of 1888 amongst the worst blizzards in U.S. history. [2] Ranking at number ten, Oskin reports more than 400 deaths and 200 ships sank because of fierce winds. The Blizzard of 1888 was unusual because the temperatures ranged from mid 50s to 70s that week. This storm was unpredictable because there was not an outbreak of cold air across eastern United States and the center of the storm made a counterclockwise loop off the coast of southern New England. The low-pressure center eventually went out to sea, instead of moving along the usual southwest to northeast path that most winter storms follow. History.com explains the beginning of the storm as, “On March 10, temperatures in the Northeast hovered in the mid-50s. But on March 11, cold Arctic air from Canada collided with Gulf air from the south and temperatures plunged. Rain turned to snow and winds reached hurricane-strength levels. By midnight on March 11, gusts were recorded at 85 miles per hour in New York City. Along with heavy snow, there was a complete whiteout in the city when the residents awoke the next morning.” [3] The Blizzard of 1888 struck Pennsylvania and the entire east coast from Maine to Maryland. [4] In Pennsylvania 20-50 inches of snow are recorded for the three-day cyclone. [5] Snowdrifts were around twenty feet tall and were nearly impossible to dig out. Many people were stranded on trains, in their homes, or buried beneath the snowfall. After this storm, an impression was left on Pennsylvania and the rest of the east coast. Daily News staff writer Rose DeWolf says this storm was significant in marking, “The beginning of urban American’s dependence on such inventions as electricity, telephone communication, central heating systems, and mass transit.” Paul Kocin writes in his book “Snowstorms and Blizzards” that when people think of snow they think of their childhood, but on other occasions snow can be a natural disaster with high personal, social, and economic costs. [6] He states the definition of blizzard as any storm accompanied by high winds, low temperatures and reduced visibilities due to falling snow. He discussed that most people did not know how to treat the roads or railroad systems, which lead to human and economic consequences of such disasters. To simulate the Blizzard of 1888, Michaelis & Lackmann from American Geophysical Union Publications provides innovative data and methods by simulating air measurements through a 21st century Reanalysis (20CR), a pioneering global reanalysis data set that reconstructs the state of the atmosphere prior to the availability of radiosonde observations. [7] In addition, the Weather Research and Forecasting used model version 3.2.1 to simulate the Blizzard of ’88. It also created a cycle, which tracks storms and snowfall. In conclusion, the team finds data from using innovative technology to simulate the storm of ’88. By simulating the storm, scientists have a better understanding of how the Blizzard occurred and its effects. In addition to the effects on land, along the Atlantic coast hundreds of boats sunk due to the high winds and heavy waves. Lifelong American Naval Officer Edward Everett Hayden was an inventor and meteorologist who co-founded the National Geographic Society who saw a different perspective during the Atlantic storm on March 11, 1888. [8] Hayden watched as hundreds of boats sunk beneath the waves from the high winds. The newspaper Lancaster Daily Intelligencer writes an article that explains the emotions of civilians and the disastrous effects this blizzard caused for people residing in Lancaster, PA. [9] It describes how telegraph companies, railroad workers, street wires, hotels, and mailmen suffered from the storm. It sheds light on how civilians felt shut-in from the world because they were unprepared for the storm, but they could not stop the storm even if they were prepared because the magnitude and density of the storm was so great. Weather.com posted a video describing the 1888 Blizzard as a weather disaster that is unparalleled to any other storm in eastern United States. [10] It showed a virtual map of how the storm moved up the coast including dates and specific times. At the end, weather.com explained that the storm cost 25 million dollars in 1880 currency for repairs. To this day, the Great Blizzard affects our society and the way we try to predict and prepare for storms. In Pennsylvania, subway systems were created as part of the aftermath, which most civilians still use as a means for transportation. In New York City, a similar determination was made about the trains, and within 10 years, construction began on an underground subway system that is still in use. This disastrous blizzard also changed means of communication in Pennsylvania by understanding the dangers of above ground telegraph, water and gas lines. After the dangers and destruction of these means of communication were destroyed, the lines were put below ground. Although families, business, and cities have been affected by the Great Blizzard in March of 1888, we are benefiting from this storm today because subway systems and communication equipment have been invented.

This week we are lucky to speak to Sally Ann, a clothing and accessories designer who crafts everything from recycled materials. You can find her blog, designs and tutorials or check out her shop at shopsallyann.com. She has a rad mobile boutique named Shelby that she takes out to markets around Florida — and hopefully across the country in the future. Every Saturday Sally & Shelby take a trip to the Riverside Arts Market in Jacksonville Florida. Sally joined us to chat despite being on vacation in Pensacola! Chris & Sally discuss the confusion of time zones, Canada and their home town, Muskegon. Paul & Sally humor old man Chris and talk about the weather. Michigan had a lot of snow this year which reminds Sally of stories she heard about the Great Blizzard of ‘78. Canadian Chris & Floridian Sally agree that there is nothing like Lake Michigan. Sally has sold her designs to over 20 countries and 30 of the states through her etsy store front. A typical week for Sally: sewing all week, sell at the market and whatever doesn’t sell she puts on the etsy page. Our guest also hopes to inspire and help others recycle clothing. She offers tutorials and gives away sewing machines that have been donated to her. Recently Sally competed in OneSpark, a crowdfunding festival. You can see her entry page here. Paul and Sally bond over smoke monster infested, multi-dimensional desert islands. Shelby, the mobile boutique, just had a birthday! You can also see the transformation of the Shasta Compact on Sally Ann’s blog. Our guest drops a few mobile boutique blogs on us, Clueless Girl, Honeybean, Coast to Coast Vintage and Oh So Lovely from Winnipeg. Chris spotted a mobile boutique at the Edmonton Art Walk.

We venture into the history of the beloved Super Nintendo role playing game, EarthBound and the whole Mother series in North America.  As part of our localization month, we're going to recount the history of EarthBound' release in North America. That means we're going to look at everything from EarthBound Zero to the fan translation of Mother 3. But first, what's an EarthBound? Download Here. Subscribe on iTunes. Subscribe on Stitcher. You play as a kid from the suburbs, Ness. Ness lives in Eagleland, and recently an alien crash landed near his house. At the crash site, a bee from the future tells Ness that ten years from now the world sucks, but Ness can change that. He can travel across Eagleland, to the big cities and defeat the evil alien Gygas. The world was definitely not our own, but the monsters were street punks, and to save you had to call your dad. Originally released in 1995, game designer Shigesato Itoi wrote the game to be a bit of an oddity. There were no empires to defeat, like in Final Fantasy. And there was no great wizard to find, like in Dragon Quest. You were just a kid with a bat who wanted to make a few friends and occasionally got homesick.  So you'd think the game would be this great success, like those games were. Well, not really. For that we talked to Jeff Benson.  Jeff is working on a documentary about EarthBound called EarthBound USA.Jeff grew up with the game. He played it alongside his father and his brother, and even made an embarrassing home movieabout it. But Jeff's family was only one of a few who picked that game up. According to Jeff, both the marketing and the price seemed to push people away. For instance, the tagline was "This game STINKS," and all the advertising was based around that one line.  Nintendo of America probably didn't think this one through. Throw 'em a bone. It was the 90s. EarthBound, at $60, was also a little expensive for the time. Nintendo included the strategy guide in the box, which made the box bigger, and $10 more than the average SNES game. It didn't help that they used scratch and sniff cards that reeked of gym socks to draw kids to stores.  That didn't stop the people who did pick it up from forming a community around it at Starmen.net. Jeff eventually became part of that community, and over time grew so fascinated he's working on a full length documentary all about it. He talks about the game, the marketing campaign, and why he made a terrible home movie about it starting 28:00. Before EarthBound there was one other game, Mother, also known as EarthBound Zero, that sat dormant for years.  A prototype cartridge of the original Earth Bound. Courtesy EarthBound Central EarthBound wasn't the first time Nintendo tried to bring over Shigesato Itoi's work from Japan. They'd tried before with Mother, the first game in the series. Mother was Itoi's first major RPG and was a minor sensation in Japan. Partially it's because Itoi wrote really catchy advertising copy. In the 80s, Japanese people quoted his ads like they would a pop song. It was also the first role playing game to not focus on swords and sorcery for the Famicom game console. But the game never made it over to North America, despite Nintendo having essentially finished localizing it. It would have been released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, but with the SNES less than a year away, they didn't have time to market it. So it sat in someone's drawer for four years. Steve Demeter, better known as Demiforce, is a fan translator who got his hands on a copy of a late prototype of Mother, then called Earth Bound (note the space in the middle). A few prototypes had escaped from Nintendo, and ended up in his lap. That version only needed a some light editing, so in 1998 he copied the game off the cartridge and fixed it up. Then it was just a matter of uploading it to the internet for people to see as EarthBound Zero. To hear more about how he found one of four known copies of Earth Bound, and why he dumped it online, tune in around 35:00. Games don't usually pop out of aether, fully translated, especially text heavy games like RPGs. Someone has to spend hours translating and editing together the dialogue.  For plain old EarthBound, Marcus Lindblom had that job. In 1995, Marcus was a software analyst in Nintendo's game group. Software analyst is a fancy name that meant he worked on the localization team for a couple games. These games didn't require much text outside of the menus. Games like Wario's Woods don't really provide much opportunity for creativity. So when they suggested he work on the localization of Mother 2, Marcus leaped at the chance. Here was a 10 hour long game that needed new jokes and new dialogue.  Marcus teamed up with an ex-Ape employee, Masayuki Miura. Miura translated the game line by line, then handed it over to Marcus who'd make each line more palatable to an English speaking audience. Together they created a memorable translation that referenced the Beatles and included lines like "Aiiiiiie, I screamed 'cause I didn't know what to do." Courtesy  KurkoBoltsi on DeviantArt But Marcus picked an awkward time to get into localization. There were no tools to make the translation process simpler. Miura would read out each line and Marcus would offer an edited version. Then Miura would copy that into the code. For a while, they didn't have a functional version of the game to see the context either. As for the length offering creativity, turns out 10 hour games take a long time to translate. By the time Marcus had the job, 10 per cent of the work was already done. Nintendo wanted the project done before June, however, and with most of the dialogue unfinished and items unnamed, he needed to work about 14 hours a day. Marcus took one day off in February for the birth of his daughter, and then worked for the next few weeks non-stop. When they wrapped it all up, Miura printed out the script for Marcus to read over. Page laid on top of page, it was about six inches high. And then in June, the game flopped. There was that misguided ad campaign, and EarthBound didn't review well. It was the 90s, and EarthBound's cheery tone didn't sit well with a lot of critics. In a few months the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn would be in stores. Who wanted to play an rpg on their SNES with new consoles on the way? Marcus didn't really talk about EarthBound for the next 10 years. To hear what happened next, tune in around 38:45. Years passed before anyone heard about another EarthBound game coming to North America, but once a new game existed, people were ready to do anything to see more. For a long time, that seemed like it would be the end of the  Mother series. It didn't sell well. Nintendo cancelled Earthbound 64, the sequel for the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive. Fans had gathered on Starmen.net but there wasn't much to do. They petitioned Nintendo to continue on with the N64 game but the disk drive was another Nintendo peripheral that just didn't sell. Then in 2006, Mother 3 landed on the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo's handheld gaming platform. Fans cheered for it to be released across the pacific, but it was too late. Like EarthBound Zero (and EarthBound to a lesser extent) it came out at the end of the platform's life. The new system, the Nintendo DS, had been out for two years already. Who was going to buy a GBA game in 2006? Jeff Erbrecht would. Jeff, known online as JeffMan, found someone in a forum willing to share a copy of Mother 3. It was the day before that game was supposed to come out in Japan, but the ROM was real. Jeff immediately set out to translate the game and so that people could play it. The main problem was that he was in tenth grade in an Ontario high school, and didn't know much Japanese. So he teamed up with a few friends online who knew a little more, and became their main programmer.  Clyde Mandelin had the same idea, except he was a professional translator during his day job. He translated anime for Funimation, like Gunslinger Guns. Clyde loved EarthBound and helped to build the community around it on Starmen.net, where he was known as Tomato. He built his own group, bringing together a who's who of fan translators, like Steve Demeter. Jeff's group eventually fell apart due to some laziness and bad blood, so he joinedClyde's. He again settled in as the programmer, and every night, after he finished his homework, he'd work on bringing to life the last game in the Mother series. It took them three years to finish it, but along the way the Mother 3 translation brought in tons of new fans and a new respect for the series. Or you can hear them tell it starting 50:50.

This year is the 125th anniversary of one of the worst storms to ever wreck havoc upon New York City, the now-legendary mix of wind and snow called the Great Blizzard of 1888.  Its memory was again conjured up a few months ago as people struggled to compare Hurricane Sandy with some devastating event in New York's past. And indeed, the Blizzard and Sandy have several disturbing similarities.  But the battering snow-hurricane of 1888, with freezing temperatures and drifts three stories high, was made worse by the condition of New York's transportation and communication systems, all unprepared for 36 hours of continual snow and wind. The storm struck in the early hours of Monday, and so thousands were attempting to make their way to work. It would be the worst commute in New York City history!  Fallen telephone and telegraph poles became a hidden threat under the quickly accumulating drifts. Elevated trains were frozen in place, their passengers unable to get out for hours.  Many died simply trying to make their way back home on foot, including Roscoe Conkling, a power broker of New York's Republican Party. But there were moments of amusement too. Saloons thrived, and actors trudged through to the snow in time for their performances,  And for P.T. Barnum, the show must always go on! Support the show.
