Midwestern winters

Having just read "The Reliable Wife" by Robert Goolrick with his extremely vivid description of a Wisconsin winter, I'm wondering if other authors have tackled the subject. None come to mind, off the top of my head. Anyone?

It's only a coincidence that we are, at this very moment, recovering from an ice storm.

PrairieDogg, try The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin. It's a well-researched, true story of the Blizzard of January 12, 1888 in the Nebraska/Dakota area. Besides just the (very sad) story of survival and non-survival, the author gives a very good lesson in meteorology. I would highly recommend it!

PS love the dog on your profile page!

Midwestern winter--at least SW Wisconsin edition--is an uncredited character who (?) helps set the tone/feel of Tom Drury's "The Driftless Area."

Willa Cather - My Antonia.

The first winter that Antonia and her family spent in Nebraska territory was one to remember.

Another one: Winter Thunder by Mari Sandoz.

My brain is working piecemeal tonight. Sorry.

The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Furious Winter by Louise Roedocker

Ole Rolvaag Giants in the Earth
In the Bleak Midwinter
Kenneth Branagh

Giants in the Earth might be a good book club choice for this group!
