Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Blizzard of '77: The White Death

This Day in History: January 28, 1977

History recounts the great Blizzard of '77 in numerous articles, books, and DVDs, such as The White Death and the Wrath of God: Buffalo Blizzard - Siege And Survival. In Buffalo, NY, temperatures plummeted to 40-60 degrees below zero with tormenting winds up to 69 MPH at the airport and average sustained wind speeds of 46 MPH.
