The Halloween Blizzard of 1991 Part 3

Halloween of 1991 fell on a Thursday. I remember I was teaching school that day and was just hopping in my car to go home as the snow was gently beginning to fall. School was cancelled the next day due to the snow and I remember discovering that I had forgotten my wallet at school. We had taken a field trip to a hospital to parade the kids around in their costumes and I had locked my wallet in my desk drawer so I didn't have to carry it with me as my costume didn't have a pocket. I had to borrow about 60 bucks from Mom and Dad so I could get through the weekend.

The following is from Wikipedia:

"The Twin Cities received 28.4 in[ches of snow], setting a single-storm record for the metropolitan area. Inall, at least one foot of snow fell in a swath approximately 100 mi wide from south central Minnesota, northeastward into northwestern Wisconsin and into the Minnesota Arrowhead."

The massive snowstorm began on the afternoon of Halloween 1991. By midnight the Twin Cities had 8.2 inches of snow.  The blizzard  kept going for four days and ended up dumping what turned out to be the greatest single snowfall in Twin Cities history.
