History

Historical Context

The Great Blizzard of 1888, which struck from March 11 to 14, paralyzed the northeastern United States, causing over 400 deaths and snowdrifts up to 50 feet. This severe storm disrupted transportation, particularly in New York and Baltimore, and led to significant infrastructure changes, including the underground placement of telegraph and railway lines, highlighting the need for improved preparedness against extreme weather events.
