Thanksgiving's Seven Most Memorable Storms

While much of the United States will be calm for Thanksgiving Day, there are some trouble spots, including lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes. Mother Nature was not so kind for some Thanksgiving holidays in our country's history.
Below is a list of a few of the nation's most memorable Thanksgiving weather events in chronological order:
1. The Snow Bowl
Two days after Thanksgiving on Nov. 25, 1950, the Ohio State Buckeyes hosted the Michigan Wolverines in Columbus, Ohio, for a collegiate football game that would go down in history.
Now referred to by some as the "Blizzard Bowl," the game is famous for its blizzardlike conditions, as temperatures dropped 10 degrees during the game, accompanied by blowing snow and wind.
