Remember March 1965 with all the snow and fierce winds? Snow totals for the month was 31 inches and drifts 8 to 10 feet high were common, especially on Lake Street. All schools were closed for three days, March 17, 18 and 19.

The two houses pictured are on Lake Street. The Grundman house is the story and a half one and the other the Lutgen house by City Park. Hard to even see that one! The downtown is on Main Street West.
