Mankato, Minnesota

I arrived in Mankato the second week of October 1978. It was very pleasant for a few weeks. The fall colors were beautiful. Certainly not a portend for the weather to come. The second week of November the temperature dropped below freezing. I never again saw the temperature about freezing in Mankato and I did not leave until March 1979. This is what the Winter of 1978-79 was like in Mankato.
