    I wish they had video's like this in our schools for children to learn because unless you "see it" or experience it, you are left unprepared. I live in Central Ohio and remember well the Blizzard of 78 and it can and will happen again but if this isn't taught and video's are much easier to teach than books, no one will know how to be prepared.. look at what happens every time a snow storm is predicted they grab milk and bread, some people don't even have snow shovels, no way to heat their homes if the power goes out.

      absolutely true. I believe in weather cycles, and I think we'll be experiencing massive storms in the near future. Nothing beats first hand experience!

    We had an ice storm that lasted 8 days without power, all the people came together and relyed on one another, as a community should. The NG came by but we told them to go help others who needed it, we were fine. You're the first responder, North Carolina and Others found out the hard way. Know your neighbors and remember, do unto others as you'd have done to yourself! God Bless you all!

      It’s a nice thought but humans are not that way. Humans look after them selves. When it comes down to it. I’ve been there and needed help and didn’t get it.

      No shit?! Thank-you for pointing that out to the cognatively unobservant (me). "It" goes out of its way to proclaim at the end of the video a "real voice". Now I understand what Jesus said when He talked about the end times (paraphrase): "Unless those days had ben cut short, they would have deceived the very elect".

      @@19irving So what? I guess you don't realize the devil's ability to deceive. AI generated false info is from the pit of hell. Meant to deceive. Ok, so air conditioners are shown in windows of a supposed 1888 time frame. Pretty innocuous, really doesn't matter. But when it comes to serious matters, and we can not discern truth from deception, then it will really matter. I, for one, do not believe in deceiving anyone, unless it is for overt absurd humor - but that is always self evident.

    Blizzards are nothing new to people in the northeast. A truly crippling winter storm is one that is rare for the region such as the southeast. Why? Because people in the southeast are not prepared for it and don’t know how to deal with it. When I first saw the thumbnail for this video I thought for sure it was about a severe winter storm somewhere in the south. The second I heard the word northeast I pressed pause and stopped listening.

    Looking back it is easy to say what you would have done, but being there and not expecting it, things would be different. Poor people were probably affected the most, and those who never expected anything out of the ordinary.
    And a lot of keeping warm goes back to having insulation. Not all homes had it even up to the 1960s when code mandated all home have it. During the 1880s if you had money and understood such things, you might have use animal hair as insulation, another material, but nothing like we have today.
