Remember the blizzard, back in Manhattan In eighteen-eighty-six edit

The lyrics read,

Remember the blizzard, back in Manhattan
In eighteen-eighty-six

Why does this article reference the Great Blizzard of 1888 rather than the January 1886 blizzard, both of which hit Manhattan? -- Pemilligan (talk) 17:38, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
