Hi there, this is Greg Young.

And this is Tom Myers with a very special pre-episode message.

We're coming up on the 130th anniversary of one of the most significant events in New York City history.

That would be the great blizzard of 1888.

That hit the Northeast on March 11th and pretty much wreaked havoc throughout the entire week.

A March snowstorm, which is exactly what we are expecting right now,

although we're not really sure if one's actually going to hit,

the forecast has been dire.

And so we thought that this would be a fun time,

just in case we all do wind up getting snowed in,

to re-release this very special episode that we recorded five years ago back in 2013.

But before we jump into the episode,

we just wanted to make an announcement that next week for all of our New York City area listeners,

we're having a live event.

Not just any live event, a trivia extravaganza.

It will be hosted at the WeWork South Williamsburg space.

We're talking cocktails, bites, and a trivia showdown.

That's on Wednesday, March 14th from 6 to 8 p.m.

You can go to our website, bowryboyshistory.com,

to RSVP or go directly to we.co slash bowryboys.

That's w-e dot c-o slash bowryboys.

And now on with the snow show!
