As a kid we had a story about this blizzard in our elementary reader so I was interested. I found the research to be well done, but the author didn't seem to know what to do with it. He alternated between scientific fact and humanistic drama irregularly with no real consistency. It was like he wasn't sure which way to go and couldn't incorporate the two. Overall, I thought it was okay, but could have been written better.
