Legendary Blizzards

Two deadly Chicago snowstorms in 1967 and 1979 stopped the city in its tracks, and the city’s inadequate response ruined one political career and jumpstarted another. Look back at the fallout from these blizzards and how the public experienced them. Audio-narrated descriptions of key visual elements are available.
