Little House on the Prairie: The Cast and Behind the Scenes
The Blizzards of South Dakota
When the second year came living in South Dakota, that is when the blizzards struck. The whole town was in survival mode. Their family ran out of wood and food so they had to resort to other measures. To produce flour, the family had to take turns grinding wheat in a coffee grinder! As if that wasn’t enough, they had to bring together tufts of hay tightly so they could burn it to generate heat.
Another desperate measure they had to resort to was Charles having to tie a string between the house and the barn so he wouldn’t get lost in the storm.
