Yes, snowing here too. 30 lovely degrees. ACK.
The Halloween Storm was my freshman year of college that year. I was so excited to go to a big Halloween "college" party only to be snowed in. We got about 40 inches or something crazy that day/night! We were all snowed in the dorms and the cafeteria cooks were snowed out! We had french toast & grilled cheese for 3 days!! (student employees were cooking). It was a very very long weekend. (but rather fun)
I remember that storm quite well. It knocked our power out for a few days. We ended up heading over to Rochester for a few days. I bet that was a fun college adventure!
