The Schoolhouse Blizzard, also known as the Schoolchildren's Blizzard, School Children's Blizzard, [2] or Children's Blizzard, [3] hit the U.S. Great Plains on January 12, 1888. With an estimated 235 deaths , it is the world's 10th deadliest winter storm on record.
In mid-January 1888, a severe cold wave passed through the northern regions of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains of the United States, then considered to be the northwestern region of the nation. It led to a blizzard for the northern Plains and upper Mississippi valley where many children were trapped in schoolhouses where they froze to death.
