"'The weather is absolutely perfect,' I told my sister, as we drove east on U.S. Highway 2 last weekend. We nearly swooned: What a beautiful place Minnesota can be in the fall, with the trees and vegetation a symphony of colors.
Just then, a vision of blowing snow broke into my thoughts. I stopped smiling and stared ahead. 'What's the most terrifying snowstorm you've encountered,' I asked her?
While she was thinking, I told her of my experience. 'It was my own foolhardiness - if you can believe I can be foolhardy,' I said to her. She just smiled."
