...storm swept from Minnesota through Ohio, sending temperatures plummeting and piling drifts high across roads. Winds up to 50 m.p.h. created low chill factors of -71° in Minneapolis and -45° in snow-buried Buffalo. Interstate highways from Wisconsin south to St. Louis were blocked. As crews worked desperately to clear passageways, the 30-day forecast brought no hope. The prediction was for more snow, extending even into the South and Southwest, and lower-than-normal temperatures throughout most of the eastern two-thirds of the nation...

In Philadelphia, Buffalo, Newark and even the affluent suburbs, talk soon turns to unemployment. There are jobs to be had, as any newspaper's want ads demonstrate, but only about half as many as were offered ten years ago.
