Blizzards. Severe snowstorms, accompanied by high winds and low visibility, can be terrifying to endure. Before World War II, blizzards were especially menacing to people because the lack of forecasting technology allowed storms to appear without warning. People had to live through a blizzard with what they had on hand because help would not be accessible immediately. Communications, such as phones, were not readily available until 1920, and even then, only thirty-five percent of homes had them. Outlying rural areas were the last to obtain indispensable services, and these regions certainly lacked what we consider essential today. Even during a short commute, one could find oneself in the wild.
