andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 During the '97 flood, who named the blizzards and why? What is the history behind it? Thanks. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I am pretty sure that the Grand Forks Herald came up with the idea of naming the blizzards and then did the honors. The idea was that they name hurricanes so why not name blizzards. Both are significant weather events that can affect a large area. There is a standard that must be met to be considered a blizzard that involves wind speed and snow fall among the variables. Quote
