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 Annie 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 and they said the surprise Halloween blizzard of the century was over and named casualties.
Our names were on that list.
