[Roger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This little book with great illustrations and photos captured the problems created by heavy snow, poor forecasting, and lack of city preparedness to deal with extreme conditions. Although storms can still overwhelm us, this storm led to changes such as better forecasting, subway systems in big cities, burial of overhead wires in cities, and cities taking responsibility for emergency preparedness and response to safeguard their citizens.
