Where Were You In The Halloween Blizzard of '91?

Share your memories, as a Local Editor shares hers.

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.


On this 20th anniversary of "The Halloween Storm," we'd like you to tell us your stories and memories of that day. 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.
