The winter of 1917-1918 was the worst winter on record. It all began with a ferocious blizzard that struck on December 9, 1917 that reportedly dropped sixteen inches of snow at Louisville in under fifteen hours.

For the three-month period of December through February, the temperature averaged around 28.6°F.
