Snowy Halloween forecast gives Minnesotans great excuse to bring up the Blizzard of '91

LOL, like we needed an excuse.

MINNEAPOLIS — Christmas came early for Minnesotans watching the trick-or-treat forecast for Thursday, as the news about impending snow is practically begging for related discussions about the infamous Halloween Blizzard of '91.

While parents lugged their small ghosts, goblins and ghouls from door to door — layers of warm clothes and heaps of snow be damned — they could already tell this particular storm would be one for the record books.

When all was said and done, more than 8 inches of snow fell in the course of only a few hours, leaving Minnesotans with much work when the sun came up the next morning.

So, will we have a '24-style repeat of '91? Only time will tell, but for now, we're bringing back a few classics from the archives to get everyone in the mood for another snowy (and spooky!) celebration.
