Hop Butcher Blizzard Of '67 Hazy TIPA 4pk 16oz can

A high pressure system from Canada combining with a low pressure system moving from Texas to Oklahoma to Southern Indiana and finally resting just east of the Lake produced a single storm which set a record of twenty three inches of snowfall on January 26th, 1967. Millions of cars stranded on the street. 1,000s of those old green and white CTA busses too. We might be exaggerating these numbers. Do you remember those old ones before they moved to the red, blue and white ones?

Big drifts. Big gusts. No school. Its stayed so cold it took three weeks to fully clear. It’s the stuff of legends our moms and dads and aunts and uncles retell over games of monopoly or risk. There’s storms from 79. Coldest years on record in 82 and 83. And in 2011 we saw a real big one with our own eyes. But when push comes to shove, the one you’re always hearing about is the Blizzard of ‘67.
