Great Blizzard of 1891
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Great Blizzard of 1891 affected southern England between 9 and 13 March of that year. Strong winds, cold temperatures and snow which drifted up to 15ft high contributed to the deaths of 200 people and 6000 animals. A merchant vessel, the Bay of Panama was one of the casualties, driven onto rocks on the south coast of Cornwall by the storm. Twenty-three lives were lost in this incident alone.[1]
