Sweeping across the Eastern United States and up into Canada, the North American Blizzard of 1966 led to incredibly low temperatures.

Many people froze to death, while others died in fires while trying to heat their homes. Much of the other deaths stemmed from people over-exerting themselves in an attempt to shovel the snow.
