In Upper Michigan&#8217;s Storm of the Century in 1938, some snow drifts reached the level of utility poles. Nearly a meter of new and unexpected snow fell over two days in a storm that started 80 years ago this week. As snow fell and gale-force winds piled snow to surreal heights; many roads became not only impassable but unplowable; people became stranded; cars, school buses and a train became mired; and even a dangerous fire raged. Fortunately only two people were killed, although some students were forced to spend several consecutive days at school. The featured image was taken by a local resident soon after the storm. Although all of this snow eventually melted, repeated snow storms like this help build lasting glaciers in snowy regions of our planet Earth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Import\u00e9 de <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/104239776541827516598\/posts\/Ro2hvNT6WBH\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/image\/1801\/snowpoles_brinkman_960.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google+ reshared post The Upper Michigan Blizzard of 1938Image Credit: Bill Brinkman; Courtesy: Paula Roccohttps:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap180121.html Yes, but can your blizzard do this?
