neighbourhood, population 10,000, was only reached by plows the morning of December 14 after two nights of isolation without any deliveries of food or coal. McMaster University was closed for two days, public schools were closed three days, most milk or bread deliveries did not occur for three days, and it took five days for all transit operations, including suburban buses, to return to regular service. The QEW and other highways from Hamilton to the rest of the Niagara Peninsula were blocked with snow for almost two days—the QEW had 3 and 3.5-metres (10 and 12 feet) of snow in some valley areas. All bus or street railway service within and between urban areas in eastern Niagara was suspended for up to two days; this prompted people to utilize horse-drawn sleighs to get around, including by the St. Catharines Standard to deliver its newspapers. In Welland, which received 43.2 cm (17.0 in) of snow, 1,000 workers at the Welland Chemical Works were stranded at the plant overnight until a bulldozer cleared the access road. There were three fatalities in the region, all in Hamilton.

which had the quickest snowfall and, generally, the highest snowfall—which resulted in roads that were largely physically undriveable until they were properly plowed—causes aside from vehicular accidents were prevalent, these including: heart attacks from exhaustion from struggling to walk through snow drifts in blizzard conditions, or from shovelling or pushing cars out of snow drifts or from the stress of a car being stuck in the snow, or from shovelling in general; sledding ("coasting") accidents, including colliding with moving vehicles; vehicles hitting pedestrians, who in some cases were walking on roads as sidewalks were unwalkable; a streetcar overturning; exposure to the cold; electrocution by wires that fell due to high winds; and, death from traumatic, delayed child birth (see the below sections for these four jurisdictions for details on fatalities and references). In the 21st century, some of these, such as shovelling not involving a trapped car or sledding, are classified by some sources as "indirect" rather than "direct" deaths from a snowstorm.

almost all milk, other food and coal from being delivered to the city on December 12; only 3% of the usual milk supply arrived. The Mayor, the evening of December 12, broadcast on the radio a request that people restrict bread and milk consumption and the City transported emergency food to fire halls the next day, from where residents could make purchases if stores were inaccessible. By December 14, the city was arranging for emergency coal distribution to 26 fire halls as households without coal were unable to heat their homes or cook food. Milk deliveries from farmers could not increase to approaching normal levels until December 14 and even then the supply was endangered for a few additional days on account of an acute shortage (100,000) of milk bottles, prompting the Toronto Milk Producer's Association to issue a plea for residents to return any bottles they had.

height of the snowstorm, severe injuries reported (i.e. fractures and internal injuries) included six people when a trolley hit a transport truck, a bus driver in a collision, four workers or pedestrians hit by vehicles, one person from a fall, and three youngsters from sledding accidents. Amongst cities impacted by the western storm, Chicago reported "scores of injuries from falls", including one cracked skull, and two severe injuries from a car-subway train collision, in one 24-hour period from December 10 to 11, during which time four deaths also occurred. In St. Louis, a major hospital reported 30 people had required treatment for injuries suffered from falls on icy sidewalks or roads in one 24-hour period, and in a second 24-hour period, six severe fracture cases from falls, including a skull fracture (which resulted in death), were reported.

snow banks blocking residential streets and driveways. Some rural townships just outside the City of had a very difficult time plowing all the local country roads; scores of families in one Township, some needing medical attention and others faced with only minimal food, remained snowbound three to four days after the storm due to snow too deep for the Township's plows. Fifteen people died in the Pittsburgh District, most from heart attacks from shovelling or pushing or digging cars out of snow, but some were pedestrians being hit by vehicles and a few were found dead in marooned cars. Two houseboats in Pittsburgh sank due to heavy snow but no injuries were inflicted.

The total RSI of the storm is 15.3 which would rank it as a Category 4 ("Crippling") Snowstorm, the second highest category after Category 5 ("Extreme"), and place it seventh all-time in the RSIs for snowstorms in the Northeast. As well, the area of snowfall of 12 inches (30 cm) or greater affected more people than all snowstorms in the Ohio Valley Region between 1932 and 1967 aside from the

it was still recovering from a 41.9 cm (16.5 in) snowfall earlier in the month. Streetcar transit had no substantial disruptions other than drivers having to drive slowly due to poor visibility from the snow/wind combination. Flights were grounded for 24 hours but train service remained normal aside from trains from Toronto, which were delayed four to ten hours on December 12 and 13. Other cities in Quebec received lighter amounts of snow on December 12 and 13—Quebec City 6.4 cm (2.5 in), Sherbrooke 8.4 cm (3.3 in) and Chicoutimi 8.7 cm (3.4 in).

city's streets, as well as nearby suburban highways and country roads, remained clogged—bulldozers were needed to tackle many of them as snow plows alone could not do it. Later on December 14, after another 3.4 inches (8.6 cm) of snow fell on Erie, the Mayor declared a State of Emergency and requested additional snow-clearing equipment from the state as, although city buses were able to run, most private transportation was still inoperable. Schools in Erie only reopened on Monday, December 18, after being closed for four school days.

Toronto from falls and other accidents caused by the storm, with at least 54 of those being fractures. Hospitals were overflowing and ambulances were incapable of making trips due to the deep snow. Transportation into Toronto was greatly hindered: the airport had no flights for over 36 hours; trains were delayed by up to ten hours on December 12 and 13 due to electrical switches in the multi-track junctions near Toronto being smothered with ice and snow; and, no intercity buses ran until late on December 13.

home; 200 workers at Victory Aircraft in Malton in four buses and numerous private cars were stranded for over 12 hours in the hamlet of Woodhill as Highway 7 to Brampton where they lived was totally blocked by 2-metre (6.6-foot) snow drifts. They slept in a school and two service stations with food in the hamlet's stores nearing depletion. Workers at the oil refinery in Port Credit, as well as six buses and several transport trucks, were marooned by snow drifts for over 24 hours.

by 40 m/ph (65 km/h) winds, blocking several highways. One person died from exposure in the western part of the Maryland and two people died and several others were seriously injured in vehicle crashes, one involving a bus, caused by icy roads elsewhere in the state. Parts of Virginia's northern and western sections also received substantial amounts of snow and primary highways were not able to be cleared until December 14 at which time secondary highways were still blocked.

3487: 705:

on December 12 remains the single-day record for the city. Winds of at least 50 km/h (30 m/ph) piled many drifts as high as 3 metres (9.8 feet), trapping some people in their homes. On December 12, moving around the city was almost impossible and all schools, the University of Toronto, the Toronto Stock Exchange, courts, department stores and 80% of other stores and businesses never opened that day. The Toronto Daily Star published limited copies for December 12 and

Only on December 15 was close to the usual daily amount of food finally able to be delivered, including the first vegetables and fruits, although the dairies pleaded for people "to dig up any bottles that might be buried in snow" as there was a shortage of milk bottles; with the then snow-blocked usual home delivery of milk, the delivery person picked up the used bottles.

evening of December 15 made the snow harder-packed, almost ice-like, which required heavy-duty plows. By December 16, about nine of the city's 15 bus routes were finally operating, on December 17, 80% of city streets had been plowed to some extent and all city bus routes were operating, although some suburban routes were still suspended, and on December 18, the airport finally reopened as snow plows were available to clear the runways.

656:, received 20 cm (7.9 in) or more of snow which, after being blown into snow drifts by substantial winds, blocked most highways, leaving most cities, towns and hamlets isolated for up to a day or more. Within most cities and towns, local car travel and transit was mostly impossible as well, and for most, intercity bus travel did not resume for at least two days because highways were initially only plowed a minimal width. In 478:—many of the occupants of these vehicles which needed to get shelter at nearby farm houses or service centres until the Turnpike was cleared almost a day later. Hundreds of deer hunters were trapped in the forest belts northeast of Pittsburgh and had to spend four to five days sheltering in hunting cabins or in trailers, trucks or automobiles, with one being found unconscious in a snow drift with their legs badly frozen. 4704:

In addition, hundred of surgeries had been cancelled on the days of the storm so those patients were still in the hospitals and even once the surgeries were completed, it was difficult to discharge them without reliable, stress-free transportation being available.

299:. A smaller low pressure system/storm, containing warm moist air, formed along the southern Atlantic Coast late on December 10 and unexpectedly moved northward towards Pennsylvania on December 11, slowing down the storm from the west and bringing additional moisture, thereby increasing snowfall amounts in the adjacent states and provinces in the eastern Great Lakes Region plus southward along the spine of the 482:

although behind schedule, but it wasn't until December 14, the same day schools and Universities reopened after being closed two days, that trolley and buses were able to provide somewhat regular service. Air travel in and out of Pittsburgh was suspended from December 11 until December 14 and intercity bus, car or truck travel was minimal for two days until highways could be properly plowed.

610:, transportation in Rochester was completely paralyzed by the 22 inch-plus snowfall—"hundreds of buses" were marooned all over the city and its suburbs; only one main bus route was somewhat operational of December 12; cars and trucks were immobile and mired in snow drifts everywhere; and, workers whose shifts were ending could not get home, and vice versa. Some war plants, as well as the 692:) were all open to at least car-widths by December 14 as 100 airmen from the Royal Canadian Air Force operated the Force's plows along those routes beginning late December 12. However, the Department of Highways still advised on December 14 it considered the highways open only to essential traffic as snowpiles/banks right next to the edge of driving lanes needed to be pushed back. 598:

exhaustion of shovelling or walking in snow, some from vehicular accidents, including as pedestrians, and also an expectant mother and her baby after the mother spent eight hours struggling to get to the Lockport Hospital, during which time an amubulance carrying her got trapped in a snow drift and the first municipal plow sent to extricate the ambulance broke down.

4718: 552:, received 19 inches (48 cm) of snow but other areas of West Virginia received 30 inches (76 cm) of snow on December 12, with the peak snowfall in North America (36 inches/91.4 cm) occurring in Ekins in Randolf County, that area's highest snowfall in half a century. As roads and highways were generally impassible, particularly through the 448:

cars from the road at 1 p.m. that day; bus service did return to 90% until late December 13. Towing companies estimated to callers that there was a seven-hour wait to tow cars, chiefly because many of their tow tucks had themselves gotten stuck in the snow; with so many people stranded downtown, people stormed hotel desks to get rooms for the night.

at a standstill. Described as the "most paralyzing storm in Erie's history", 50 m/hr winds whipped the snow into 5- and 6-foot (1.5-1.8 metre) drifts. Local bus service was halted the night of December 11; many buses never made it back to the garage and plows sent out to rescue them got stalled in snow drifts as well.

688:

100 trucks were stalled in snow or waiting within the city for the highway to be cleared on December 12. West of London, a convoy of 25 US army trucks, mostly driven by women, were stuck in snow drifts for several hours on December 12. Most of Ontario's main highways (Highways 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and the

Trains arriving in Ohio cities were between two and twelve hours late on December 12 and many were late on December 13 as well. Air travel from northeastern Ohio airports, such as Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown, was halted for December 12 and part of December 13, and the Cleveland evening newspapers

Cities such as Pittsburgh and Toronto were expecting four or five inches of snow but instead received four to five times that amount, leading Pittsburghers to call it the "sneak" snowtorm. Winds whipped snow into drifts and impeded traffic considerably over much of the affected areas. On December 12,

One low pressure system/storm had formed late on December 8 in the southern High Plains and, drawing in cold air from the north, slowly moved northeastward producing snowfall over a large area, including as far south as the northern portions of some Gulf States. States receiving substantial snowfalls

Montreal received 29.9 cm (11.8 in) of snow, mostly on December 12, accompanied by 48 m/ph (77 km/h) gales, but it had staff of 1,500 men and more than 620 pieces of equipment ready to work in 12-hour shifts to clear snow, so the storm did not substantially impact the city even though

725:

Between 13 and 16 people died in Toronto, most from heart attacks from struggling through deep snow and two from heart attacks while shovelling. One person died when a streetcar turned on its side, with 43 passengers suffering injuries, 10 seriously. An estimated 100 people were seriously injured in

Numerous war production factories and other industries did not operate because only a small percentage workers could get to them; in most cases they did not restart operations until the late afternoon shift on December 13 or the morning of December 14. Workers ending their night shifts could not get

To deliver emergency food and/or medicine to about 50 snow-bound homes, a group of ten people rode on horseback; they were also available to transport doctors to emergencies, if necessary. Food deliveries could not be made to the stores and markets of the city, which were mostly downtown—on December

In some rural areas nearby these cities, people were snowbound to varying degrees for up to five or six days. Intercity travel by road, bus or air was blocked for two to three days and train travel was blocked or subject to long delays for one to two days. The single highest snowfall was recorded in

The storm was crippling to these urban areas such that most car, truck, streetcar and bus transport was blocked for a full day and hindered for three to five days, while stores, government offices and factories were closed for one to two days, and schools were closed for two to three days or longer.

695:

Ottawa was not significantly impacted by the storm as milk deliveries continued, streetcar service operated mostly on schedule and roads were all plowed by the morning of December 13, although intercity bus service was paused until late December 13. At least 21 fatalities occurred in Ontario due to

Clearing the streets was impeded by thousands of vehicles marooned along downtown and suburban streets and on country roads and highways even two days after the storm. On December 12, streetcars were running,
