Reply #7: The aforementioned Minnesota Halloween Blizzard.

[Left Is Write]

That was a Thursday. We were snowed in all weekend. I worked for the same company as my father, and they had never closed for weather ever before - but they closed that Friday.

My dad called me at work on Thursday afternoon and told me not to go to school that night (I took classes M-Th nights). I thought he was overreacting. There was barely a cloud in the sky. Still, I agreed. After work I went to my parents' house to pick up my daughter, and it was snowing lightly. I took my daughter trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and decided just to stay there.

The next day, we had over three feet of snow.
