Where Were You During the Halloween Blizzard of 1991?

Oct. 31, 1991: The day Jack Frost came trick-or-treating.

Across much of Minnesota, trick-or-treaters traded their costumes for snowsuits as snow began to fall during the afternoon of Oct. 31, 1991. Thus began the mother of all winter storms, pounding the eastern half of Minnesota with more than 28 inches of snow over over a three-day period. The single-storm record for the metropolitan area still stands today—as does the lore and stories that followed in its wake.

Luckily, these year the forecast is extremely mild by comparison: According to the National Weather Service, Burnsville is in for lows in the 40s tonight.

However, to mark the occasion we'd like to hear from you. If you're like Becky Glander, Local Editor of the Minnetonka Patch, you'll remember your costume as much as your trick-or-treating heroism. We'd like you to tell us your stories and memories of that day.
