This is the final of four clips of a broadcast from the 1967 Chicago blizzard. This is mainly from WTAS, for the south suburbs of Chicago. The broadcast came from WCGO and WTAS studios in Chicago Heights Illinois and surrounding south suburban Chicago areas. The audio was originally recorded on a reel-to-reel by a Crete resident. The reel and recorder were later auctioned off when the resident had passed on and we have been lucky to obtain it. The video was done with stills of roughly half actual pictures from that blizzard (Chicago Tribune's "Big Snow", January, 1967) and half random pictures not necessarily from the blizzard, but there for filler, hopefully to make this all so not boring. This clip also includes text from the Chicago Tribune's January, 1967 "Big Snow" article. It may not all completely jive, but we tried our best for it to. Sorry if the video is boring, but at least the audio portion is genuinely from that time. Please enjoy!
On January 27, 1967, a massive blizzard hit Chicago. In Historic Pullman, Al & Marilyn Quiroz picked up their shovels and cameras to capture the event.

© (2009) Photographs by Vicki Polin I was talking to a friend of mine in Chicago who was telling me they were having a huge blizzard. I've been very homesick and really had hoped I would have been in Chicago this weekend. I looked up and the sun was shining and decided to enjoy the snowstorm in Chicago from Baltimore.
