The Great Snow of 1717, which affected parts of Europe, particularly in England and Switzerland, resulted in significant fatalities due to heavy snowfall and subsequent avalanches. Estimates suggest that around 800 to 1,000 people perished during this extreme weather event, with many deaths attributed to the harsh conditions, avalanches, and food shortages. The snow cover lasted for weeks, severely disrupting daily life and transportation.
