The checklist asks for the snowmobile's documented moment in city life, and names its candidate: the Blizzard of 1978, the storm of 25–27 January 1978 that shut northern Indiana entire and stands in this build's spine and weather record at full size. In a county buried past the plows' capacity, the snowmobile became for some days the only vehicle that moved — that much is the region's common memory, and the trails section carries the storm itself. But a snowmobile-specific moment for Mishawaka — a rescue, a supply run, a named rider in the city's own record — does not stand in the open record this build has reached: not in the press record as opened here, not in the club's own history, which begins with its organizing five years after the storm. The moment, if it was written down, stands where the settling record for it lives: the South Bend Tribune and the Mishawaka Enterprise of late January and February 1978, on the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library's film — the newspaper rows the pending-research catalogue already carries for this city. This entry prints the gap as the item's answer: the storm is documented whole, the machine's part in the city's week of it is not, and the film that would settle it is named.
