Families were torn apart, and the town would never be the same.Now, as a new storm approaches twelve years later, the folks of Coventry are haunted by the memories of that dreadful blizzard and those who were lost in the snow.

They didn’t wander off and get lost in the snow, to be found later. Nope, they just disappeared. Of the people ...
