The 1940 Armistice Day Blizzard

 

Coming in December, nimbus presents a show about the 1940 Armistice Day Blizzard

November 11, 1940 started out as a balmy and unseasonably warm day, but that soon changed. With little warning, temperatures plunged and winds howled, smacking the Midwest with one of the biggest storms ever recorded, claiming over 50 lives in the process. Based on historic records and the recollections of those who lived through it, nimbus tells the story of a blizzard that changed Minnesota forever.
