You should read the book, "The Children's Blizzard". David Laskin does a great job describing the "hearty" Norwegians and Eastern European Mennonites who never complained, despite dropping all their belongings and moving to a new land. Then there was the blizzard of 1888. This event changed them, and many wrote about the "wall of lightning" crossing the plains and complained to God for the punishing them with the weather and killing their children. The swarms of locusts eating the crops during the hot summer months was terrible. Frank L. Baum was living in Aberdeen, Dakota, at the time, and his time there was inspiration for writing the Wizard of Oz. I do the book no justice with a post, it's a great read.

Reading up on history shows weather is brutal, always has been and always will be. Check this out...2-volume DVD by the AMS on Northeast snowstorms.
