https://www.mnhs.org/ On November 11th of each year, Americans celebrate Veteran's Day, acknowledging the services and sacrifices of the men and women of the American military. But in the minds of many Minnesotans, the day evokes an additional memory: that of a powerful winter storm that exploded over Minnesota in 1940 and is remembered today as the Armistice Day Blizzard. Minnesota Historical Society Collections Assistant Tony Krosschell discusses this tragic event that took over 150 lives and its impact on the National Weather Service's forecasting practices.
