Worst blizzard ever: Remembering the 'Big Snow' of 1881
Snow bank in Sheboygan
Several people stand on a large snow bank on 8th Street in Sheboygan, looking north, on March 4, 1881, after the big snowstorm. Signs hanging over the sidewalk attached to the brick buildings read: "Paint, Oil & Glass," and "American Express, Custom House, Telegraph Office."
