Cherokee County, Northwest Iowa
I just Googled Armistice Day Blizzard- hit in 1940. Did not realize that is hit such a large area so fiecerly. Storm is ranked # 2 on Minnesota weather events for the 20th century. People took day off and went duck hunting 55 degrees in morning, storm moved in so fast hunters got stranded on islands on Mississippi River, and froze to death.
