Krátky popis
Fred M. White published this fictional story in 1903 about London
in the grip of a severe 4-day arctic snow-storm, showing the
hardships and consequences for which the city was unprepared,
including price gouging and angry mobs.Actually, the "The history
of British winters" page at www.netweather.tv shows many severe
winters, including this dramatic entry: "25th December 1836, roads
impassable, snow depths reached a staggering 5-15 feet in many
places, and most astonishingly, drifts of 20-50 feet!" That entry
doesn't say where in Great Britain those snowfalls occurred, but
this one mentions London: "1885-1886: Snow fell in October,
November, December, January, February, March, April and May! London
recorded 1ft of snow in 7 hours in early January." Generally in the
record, a snowfall of 6 to 12 inches in London would be considered
unusually severe. Compare that with the snowfall described in this
story.First published in Pearson's Magazine, January 1903 with
illustrations by Warwick Goble. Reprinted in Science Fiction By The
Rivals Of H.G. Wells, Castle Books, 1979.
