I never heard of the 1940 Blizzard but remember the one in 1948-49. I was three years old in 1940 and don't recall much of my life at that age. in 1949 the Radio stories of Cattle not being able to be fed and Hay shortages and people freezing to Death are all vivid in my Memory. Winter of 1949 I was 12 years old and we were Dairy Farmers in N C ILL. and my Dad was Miserable and depressed all the time about the conditions he had to work in and the suffering of our Animals.I went thru the same thing many times on my own Dairy Farm only not so drastic as 1949 was. I live here in AZ. now and hate Snow so much I turn my Head when they show it on TV. so I won't have to look at the Snowy Scenes that others think are so beautiful.
