    Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 21, 2016

    Updated Feb 19, 2016

    By Emily Mayer The winter of 1915-1916 was a brutal one. Blizzards, heavy snowfall and extreme cold temperatures affected lives and commerce throughout the area. Then, the area got a Chinook wind; those warm winds that can bring unseasonably warm temperatures, melt snow and create havoc. In 1916, Havre was still a relatively new town. It had been incorporated in 1893, only a few years after its settlement due in no small part to Jim Hill’s St. Paul-Minneapolis-Manitoba railroad, the precursor to the Great Northern. Floods w...
