  The 1966 Blizzard

  Sep 6, 202659 minS0

  <p>A forgotten memorial. A brutal November storm. Two people who came heartbreakingly close to safety.

  <p>It's easy to look at Seney National Wildlife Refuge and assume it has always been this way.</p><p>Quiet pools. Trumpeter swans. Loons calling across the water. Moose somewhere out in the marsh if you’re lucky enough to spot one.</p><p>But a little over a century ago, people were trying to make much of this place into farmland.</p><p>They dug enormous drainage ditches through the wetlands, sold pieces of the swamp to hopeful settlers, and tried to force an Upper Peninsula landscape into becoming something it simply wasn’t very good at being.</p><p...
