I'm not from Minnesota. I didn't grow up here and moved as an adult. I still know all about the Halloween Blizzard because y'all will not shut up about it, lol.
I have a similar memory from a later blizzard. A friend visited to sleep over the first night of the storm and ended up staying 5 days until the roads were cleared enough to pass. Several dozers got stuck trying to clear the roads into the valley we lived.
