Narrative Information
(By State)

Delaware

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Southeastern Sussex County…15-18 [Jan]…0 [killed]…Heavy snow, extreme cold, wind

“Seven inches of snow on the 15-16th, with drifts several feet deep, combines with near record temperatures on the morning of the 18th gave this area its most unusual winter weather for many years.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 5.)

Georgia

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Northern Third…15-16 [Jan]…0 [killed]…Snow.
“Snowfall ranging from 8 inches in extreme north to a trace in Middle Georgia resulted in hazardous driving conditions over northern third of State. Some roads were closed, and many sports events and meetings were cancelled. Industrial plants closed some areas because workers were unable to report.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 2.)

Illinois

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “East-Central…15-16 [Jan]…Blowing and drifting snow
“Snow began falling the evening of the 14th and continued during most of the 15th. Total fall in most of east-central Illinois ranged from 4 to 8 inches. Snow ended during early evening of the 15th and did not become a major traffic hazard until wind shifted to northerly. Northeast winds of about 30 mph and gusts above 40 mph drifted snow and cut visibility. Drifts as much as five feet deep blocked some major highways for 12 hours or longer. Many secondary roads were not opened for more that 24 hours. Several hundred cars were stranded and even snowplows were stuck.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 2.)

Indiana

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Central Indiana…15-16…1 [killed]…Snow, wind, cold
“Twelve inches of snow which drifted badly in high winds slowed travel. A man became lost in the storm in traveling cross-country from his stalled auto to his house and froze to death.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 2.)

Massachusetts

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Coastal and eastern sections…15-17 [Jan]…0 [killed] Snow, blizzard.

“Storm yielded 5 to 12 inches of snow and even 12 to 18 inches in parts of Cape Cod and Nantucket. With very strong winds, and temperatures near 20⁰, real blizzard conditions prevailed at times on January 16. The snow was ‘dry’ and fluffy and so did not accumulate to any great extent upon trees and wires. Power losses were at a minimum. Drifts piled up to 5 feet in some areas. Roads and highways were kept open almost continuously through the storm. Many motorists kept off the roads due to early storm warnings and to the fact that the storm came on a week-end. Two persons died while shoveling snow. There were scattered flights into and out of Logan Airport. Other transportation facilities were fully in service though running behind schedule.” (Environ. Science Svc. Admin., Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 2.)

New York

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Coastal…16 [Jan]…Blizzard

“Blizzard conditions prevailed in coastal and extreme southeastern sections as result of extensive storm system off Atlantic coast. Storm accompanied by winds averaging 20 to 30 mph and gusts to 40 mph, as temperatures dropped from 20s to 10⁰ and colder. Severe drifting of Long Island highways but storm occurrence on Saturday reduced effect on traffic and operation of schools and businesses. Snowfall totaled from 4 to 8 inches and followed by less than a week a storm of similar snowfall but less wind and drifting.

“Erie and Niagara Counties…18 [Jan]…Morning…Snow…Local areas, mostly north and northwest of Buffalo, hit by very heavy lake-effect snowfall. Cities of Lockport, Tonawanda, Grand Island, Kenmore and western half of Buffalo paralyzed by from 8 to 20 inches of snow with some areas reporting up to 24 inches. Many industrial plants closed or hampered by inability of employees to get to work; schools closed throughout area. Snowfall spread southward later during day with amounts decreasing to 4 to 6 inches in Chautauqua County. At Buffalo International Airport, a relatively short distance east of city, measured snowfall of less than two inches.” (Environ. Science Svc. Admin., Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 6.)

North Carolina

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Statewide 16-19 [Jan]… 4 [killed]…Snow, cold

“State covered with one to fifteen inches of snow 16th and 17th, followed by severe cold. At least four persons died from cold and exposure. Several others killed and many injured in weather-related traffic accidents. Some damage to power and communications lines. Schools closed one or more days many areas.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 3.)

Ohio

Associated Press, Jan 16: “By the Associated Press. Snow and cold covers Ohio today following the season’s first general snowfall that brought depths of more than a foot in spots and has been blamed for at least seven deaths. And there are still more problems ahead.

“Additional snow accumulations of one to three inches or more were predicted for the eastern half of the state and very strong northerly winds were expected to cause considerable blowing and drifting snow across the entire state. The snows are expected to taper off to flurries tonight but temperatures as low as zero likely will worsen already hazardous traffic conditions by causing freeze-overs. Metropolitan and state road crews are continuing their battle to keep streets and highways passable, however.

“Northeast Ohio was the hardest hit. More than 14 inches of snow is expected to pile up in Geauga county.

“Cleveland measured three inches of new snow late Friday night. The Columbus Weather Bureau reported seven inches with more to come. Three inches was expected in the Cincinnati area and two inches elsewhere along the Ohio River.

“The snow tangled traffic and slowed transportation across the state. The Ohio Turnpike was reported snow-covered and slippery with the speed limit cut from 70 to 40 m.p.h.

“The winter weather took its toll in lives too. Two motorists died on interstate highways, two other persons – transients – froze to death and two little girls drowned when they fell through the ice on a lake. A Cleveland woman died shoveling snow. The casualties:

“Kendall Stamper, 35, a Dayton truck driver, killed on Interstate 75 when hit by a car while trying to assist a stalled motorist.

“Robert Joy, 41, Columbus, killed on Interstate 71 when he stepped from his car to inspect damage after a minor collision and was struck by another auto.

Add Richard, 7, and Kathleen McCanleis, 8, both of Dayton, drowned in a private fishing lake when ice broke.

“David Hicks, 54, and Edward Crain, 45, transients, died sleeping under a railroad bridge at Youngstown….” (Associated Press. “NE Area [Ohio] Gets Over Foot. 7 Deaths Linked to State Weather.” Circleville Herald, OH. 1-16-1965, p.1 and 8.)

Rhode Island

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Washington and Newport Counties…16th…Blizzard
“Winds which averaged 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 50-60 mph on the mainland and 40-50 mph with gusts to 75 mph on Block Island drove a powdery 8 inch average snowfall into drifts which reached 7 to 20 feet in places. Travel was disrupted and business curtailed.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 4.)

South Carolina

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Western and Northern…15-16 [Jan]…1 [killed]…Snow, sleet, freezing rain
“Record breaking, 24-hour snowfall for January for South Carolina, 10 inches at Landrum. Schools closed Lancaster, Chester, Union and York Counties on 18th. Snow reported in all portions of state, brought traffic to near standstill in North. Cherokee County man found frozen to death on road.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 4.)

Tennessee

Weather Bureau, Storm Data: “Statewide…16-17…1 [killed]…Snow
“Season’s first snowfall of consequence yielded irregular amounts, ranging from trace in West Tennessee, one inch Midstate to 4 to 5 inches east portion. Slipper roads with snow and ice were blamed for numerous traffic injures. One death was reported due to over-exertion.” (ESSA, Weather Bureau. Storm Data, Vol. 7, No. 1, Jan 1965, p. 4.)

Newspaper
(General)

Jan 17: “New York (AP) – A blizzard hit a huge section of the East with a powerful wallop Saturday [June 16], piling up mountainous snowdrifts in spots and making highways hazardous. Several deaths were attributed directly or indirectly to the storm. The blizzard’s main fury was unleashed in a roughly triangular area stretching from Baltimore, Md., to Cape Cod, Mass., to Albany, N.Y. But many other areas were hit almost equally as hard by high winds and heavy snow.

[Indiana]

“The midsection of Indiana was all but paralyzed by a snowstorm driven by 46-mile-an-hour winds which whipped up drifts a high as 20 feet. Thousands of motorists were stranded on snow-blocked Indiana roads and highways. Many were forced to remain in their cars overnight. Gov. Ruger D. Branigin called out the Indiana National Guard for emergency duty. Indianapolis was crippled by a snowfall of 12 inches, which brought transportation close to a standstill. Many stores remained closed.
[New York City]

“New York City called out a work force of 6,000 men in an effort to keep streets clear. The blizzard in the city was marked by gale force winds, temperatures in the low teens and a heavy snow which was expected to continue into Sunday. The city’s woes were multiplied by the fact that in some places three or four inches of snow remained from a previous storm. The New York Weather Bureau said blizzard conditions prevailed in Connecticut, Long Island and eastern Pennsylvania. Tides along the coast were running about two feet above normal and increasing to four feet or more during high tide.

“The Weather Bureau said another storm was developing in the Cape Hatteras, N.C., area.

“Freezing weather extended southward to the Gulf Coast, and the mercury plunged to 32 below zero in Brainerd, Minn., and 24 below in Houlton and Limestone, Maine.

“New England was buffeted by winds up to 50 mph, with snow expected to total 10 inches in Massachusetts and Rhode Island….

“Several persons died of heart attacks while shoveling snow and others died in automobile accidents blamed on storm conditions. Others perished in fires which swept their homes.

“Two transients froze to death while sleeping under a railroad bridge at Youngstown, Ohio. Most of Ohio was hit by a heavy snowfall, which was expected to total 14 inches in some sections. Columbus recorded seven inches.

“About three inches of snow fell in parts of north Georgia and Alabama, with hundreds of roads closed. Six inches fell in mountain areas of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Kentucky had four inches.” (AP. “Blizzard Carries Powerful Wallop.” Gastonia Gazette, NC. 1-2-17-1965, p. 1.)
