It was worse than we thought
Halloween Blizzard
by Debi Pick Marquette
It seemed like a good idea at the time. It wasn't snowing as hard when we left home. I gripped the steering wheel as I hit each drift. It was the last year Bridget could trick or treat as next year was 7th grade. So, I hated to see her miss because of a little snow. But it started snowing much harder, so, while waiting for her, I turned on the local radio station to hear the forecast. They said the surprise Halloween blizzard of the century was over and named casualties.
Our names were on that list .
