Snowflakes stuck to the plastic jack-o'-lantern bucket, and boots crunched where sneakers should have been. That night a huge snowstorm rolled in, and it did not stop for days. People there still call it the Great Halloween Blizzard.  \nThose first flakes were only the beginning, because the storm settled in like an unwanted houseguest. Snow fell on October 31 and kept falling into early  \nNovember, piling up more than two feet in parts of the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. Some spots ended up with even more than that. Can you imagine a snowdrift taller than you, sitting on the front steps where the trick-or-treaters had just been?  \nTo understand how a pile like that appears, you have to think about how a snowstorm is built. When cold air from the north crashes into warmer, wetter air, the moisture is lifted high, freezes into ice crystals, and tumbles back down as snow. In this storm the two kinds of air kept meeting again and again, so the flakes just kept coming. That is called cause and effect: cold plus moisture equalsa mountain of white.  \nAll that white caused a lot of digging out, and neighbors dug together. Schools closed, cars vanished under humps of snow, and families used shovels and snowblowers to carve out their driveways. Some people could not get to work, so they stayed home, made hot cocoa, and watched the flakes pile higher against the windows. Kids who had planned to show off their costumes ended up building the biggest snow forts of their lives.  \nYears later, those snow forts turned into stories that grown-ups still love to tell. In Minnesota, people brag about the Halloween of 1991 the way others brag about catching a giant fish. It became one of the biggest snowstorms the state had ever recorded, and it happened on the one night kids most wanted to be outside in a costume. How is that for a Halloween nobody forgets?  \nThe Great Halloween Blizzard  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What were children in Minnesota wearing over their costumes on Halloween 1991?\u003Cbr>A.
