Minnesota is getting snow Thursday. Here's how much more the Halloween blizzard of 1991 dropped.

MINNEAPOLIS — When it comes to Halloween in Minnesota, you can expect to hear the sounds of ghosts and goblins. But you can also expect to hear the familiar sound of lifelong Minnesotans (Gen X or older) collectively reminding the never-not-reminded rest of Minnesota about that one time it snowed a lot on Halloween.

While WCCO meteorologist Joseph Dames says this year's Halloween forecast calls for some snowflakes, it will be nothing compared to the wave of white that plopped down on the area 33 years ago.

The Halloween blizzard of 1991 is a story that is brought up year after year as a badge of honor for those who lived through it. Blustery winds and plummeting temperatures on Halloween night made going house-to-house for trick-or-treaters or just about anywhere a challenge.
