1938 年上密歇根暴風雪
The Upper Michigan Blizzard of 1938

是的，但你的暴風雪能做到嗎？在 1938 年密歇根上半島的世紀風暴中，一些雪堆達到了電線杆的高度。這場暴風雪始於 86 年前的本週，在兩天的時間裡降下了近一米的新雪，讓人始料未及。 大雪紛飛，狂風將積雪吹到超現實的高度，許多道路不僅無法通行，而且無法剷雪；人們受困，汽車、校車和一列火車陷入泥潭，甚至發生了危險的火災。有兩人喪生，一些學生被迫連續幾天呆在學校裡。 這張照片是當地居民在暴風雪過後不久拍攝的。雖然這些積雪最終都融化了，但像這樣反覆的暴風雪有助於在我們地球上的多雪地區形成持久的冰川。
原文：Yes, but can your blizzard do this? In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's Storm of the Century in 1938, some snow drifts reached the level of utility poles. Nearly a meter of new and unexpected snow fell over two days in a storm that started 86 years ago this week. As snow fell and gale-force winds piled snow to surreal heights, many roads became not only impassable but unplowable; people became stranded, cars, school buses and a train became mired, and even a dangerous fire raged. Two people were killed and some students were forced to spend several consecutive days at school. The featured image was taken by a local resident soon after the storm. Although all of this snow eventually melted, repeated snow storms like this help build lasting glaciers in snowy regions of our planet Earth.
