Home School Day Minnesota History Center

The blizzard of March 23 and we have a 75 mile drive to St Paul. Highway 61

After we saw the snowplow in the ditch, things got a bit more hectic! Very slow going on unplowed roads!

and lots of cars in the ditch!

This is a 65 MPH zone!

We HAD to stop for a break and some munchies

back on the road, closer to the metro

White knuckles!

ramp for 94

ugh! 94 had an egg truck jackknife!!!

finally in St Paul

the barely visible capitol

We made it! Only 2.75 hours!!!!

mad dash

It sure is Minnesota!!!

We were very late for our class, but thankfully the next one had a lot of cancellations!

Grain Elevator

Supreme Court Justices

Learning about W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T Washington.

They loved the soda fountain

In the basement waiting for the tornado to strike!

Heading out...no more snow!

We saw lots of cars in the ditch on the way home, but at least we could see!!!

Always stop at the Dairy Store on our way through Hastings

for malts and cheese!

Much prettier on the way home than on the way up!!!!

BLIZZARD

The end result of 20 inches of snow....there is actually another garbage can buried on the other side of the garage.

There was so much snow that the snow plow threw snow all the way to the sidewalk.

looking out in wonder!

I submitted this photo to our local news station

Of course one must built a fort

and suck on icicles

The snow was deeper than Ted is tall...he looked like a bunny leaping among the drifts.
