The Blizzard of 1978: A Snowbound Week in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan | Relaxing History for Sleep

By six in the morning snow is falling across Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, the furnace is humming in the basement, and your oldest child wants to know whether school will be canceled. This 1978 blizzard sleep story follows one household through a week cut off by drifts, then a young forecaster in Cleveland watching the data worsen and a nurse in Detroit who has to improvise care. Later chapters explain why the storm was so severe, and how money and position shaped who suffered most once the roads closed. The household, the forecaster and the nurse are illustrative characters. The storm of 25-27 January 1978 is real.
