A BLIZZARD. SCHOOL CLOSED. STILL, THEY DRIVE TO GRAND RAPIDS.

A terrible blizzard all day

and still continuing to-night.

Roads, yard, and buildings

full of snow.


Henry, Helen, and Alice Porritt

went to Grand Rapids -

Phoned to-night that hey

were unable to get home on

M 50 - Miss Benson closed

school this morn on account

of storm.


Alice ironed this P.M.


86 eggs

Either they were way more adventurous in 1936 or a blizzard wasn't really a blizzard because Edna, on several occasions, mentions that they are having a terrible snowstorm or blizzard and still someone ventures off in a 1930s automobile for Grand Rapids (which is about 25 miles away from the Johnson farm in Bowne Center).
