Halloween Weather In the Northland

How can anyone forget the Halloween of 1991?

To refresh your memory, during the height or trick-or-treating, the storm started out as rain, then changed to freezing rain, and before the trick-or-treating was over, it was snowing- HARD!

It continued to snow for two more days, with final total of 36.5 inches at the Duluth Airport and 35 inches in Superior. A large area of more that 20 inches of snow covered northwest Wisconsin from Bayfield to River Falls and nearly the eastern half of Minnesota. At times the snow fell at a rate of two inches per hour and was accompanied by thunder and lightning.

What about the rest of the Halloweens in the Northland?

We wondered that, too and below is what we found:
