Halloween, Alaska: Farewell Performance

The Great Armistice Day Blizzard

The deadliest storm in Minnesota history began on an unseasonably warm day in November, 1940: a holiday that drew crowds downtown with barely a coat and scores of duck hunters out on the water with high hopes and not much else.

In Minneapolis, two young couples - next door neighbors and friends - enjoy the long weekend and mild weather. The men head off to hunt while the women make plans to attend the holiday parade downtown. Little did they know of the sudden calamity headed their way.
