“Prepare yourselves for the coming Bomb Cyclone!”

I remember when it had the romantic and cheerful name of “Canadian Clipper.”

“Alberta Clipper”

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember them being called “Alberta Clipper” and “Siberian Express.”

Not the first time for cold weather. I remember way back in January 1962 it was so cold from the Rockies to the Ozarks it broke up all the paved roads there. Record lows in Carlsbad NM.
March 14, 1968. 14 inches of blowing snow which shut down the area of Kansas, Mo, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Then 30 below zero in 1978, and 1979 in the Ozarks.

It was blamed on THE COMING ICE AGE.
