Power lines went down, food and fuel became scarce, and the very roof of society threatened to collapse under the pressure of falling snow. \"During the storm, \" says Mr. Robinson, \"I was struck by the pitiful vulnerability of my old friend Homo Mechanicus, man of many inventions. Suppose snow fell for twenty days instead of seven-what would happen to his lofty edifice, the City? Fact-bound readers may complain that the laws of Weather Bureau probability have been violated in this unusual story. \"In their literal-minded way, \" concedes Mr. Robinson, \"they'll be right. It's quite unlikely that the northeast quadrant of the U. S. will ever be smothered by a 20-day blizzard such as I describe in The Great Snow.
