Flash fiction--man who froze to death

In October 1984 on a very cold night, Stanley Biddle, a homeless man who was a familiar figure on the University of Pennsylvania campus, froze to death after falling asleep near 38th Street.

It was my first snowstorm experienced in America, though I'd seen a lot of snow in Poland.
There were 4 feet drifts of snow on Chestnut Street.
My friend Scallion Shoot called me to say they had to dig themselves out of the snowdrift, using the garage door first to get out, because they could not use the regular doors.
