Good frosty morning from Collegeville,
On this date in 1936 the wind chill was minus 80 degrees in Upsala, Minnesota. My mother and Auntie were teenagers and they had just moved to Upsala from Cushing. Grandma Ramlo wrote that the grocery store that they had purchased was very low on product to sell, but there was a large wood pile. It was all gone by spring.
I received the following from one of my family members who will go unnamed. Enjoy.
