Blizzard of 1922

Below is a video of one of the worst Mid-Atlantic snow storms from the 20th Century. In 1922 the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater, Columbia Road and 18th Street, NW, in DC collapsed under 28" of snow, killing almost 100 people.

Here is an article from the Washington Post on the disaster, although I doubt that many people actually remember this, since you would have to be 88 to even have been born when it happened.
