The Blizzard of '78

from Indy Politics Podcast with Abdul-Hakim Shabazz · host Abdul-Hakim Shabazz

Today we look back at the Blizzard of '78. For three days from January 25 to January 27, massive snow fell and temperatures plummeted., with wind chills hitting -51 degrees, Indiana historian Dan Miller talked about this at a lunch lecture this past week at the Columbia Club. He talks about the storm's impact on Hoosier life and there's an interesting story about then Governor Otis Bowen picking up a nurse at her home so she could get to work as she was an essential employee at her hospital.
