These blinding, swirling storms can shut down roads and damage buildings. Violent winds can thrash vehicles driving on icy roads. Snowdrifts can pile up to block streets or even cover houses. Blizzards can knock out power and threaten the lives of people stranded inside for days―or worse, those caught outside in the storm. With dramatic images and first-hand survivor stories―plus the latest facts and figures―this book shows you blizzard disasters up close.
