As the Ingalls family settles in Dakota Territory, the settlers are warned a hard winter looms. After the first blizzard hits in mid-October, Pa decides to heed the warning and moves the family into his store building in town. Blizzards repeatedly sweep the town, and supplies like coal, food, and fuel become commodities. Families resort to using burning hay to keep warm, but even that soon runs low. Rumors swirl around town about a settler who has enough hay to last the town the rest of the winter, and Almanzo Wilder risks his life to save the town.
