Monday Afternoon Diversion: The Blizzard Of 1933

Chicago Film Archives isn't our only resource for taking trips back in time to Chicago's past. The British Pathé YouTube archives have some true gems.

Today we share from British Pathé a three-minute clip from a blizzard in 1933 containing a hyperbolic voiceover that wouldn't be out of place in the modern day. Take a look at how they handled deep snow 80 years ago while you wait for the dirty ice around your car to melt so you can make some half ass dibs.
