Armistice Day Storm 1940

“In the days and weeks after the storm, the U.S. Weather Bureau responded to criticism that it failed to predict the huge blizzard,” Weather.gov said. “Officials said they knew a storm was coming but were wrong about its strength and scope. Perhaps the most embarrassing revelation was that no one was watching the storm’s explosive development in the pre-dawn hours of November 11.”
