Looking at TH records, this is the 2nd snowiest Halloween on record. 4.0" in 1926, 1.5" today, and 0.5" in 1939 are the only 3 measurable snows in town. The 1991 Halloween stm started on this day, but didn't put down much (just a T) until the overnight hours into the 1st of Nov, and the 2nd. That's when the crazy settled in. Partied through the storm in my young, and foolish days. Ran out of booze, and was snowed in :lol:

The MSP airport is reporting 2.6”

Overpreformer, and the first white Halloween in Minneapolis since 1991.

That's 2nd out 7 recorded snows for the date. 8.2" 1991, 2.6" 2023, 1.4" 1932, 0.6" 1884, 0.5" 1995, 0.4" 1954, and 0.2" 1885. But there have been earlier snows greater. 10/20/20 you had 7.9" for that date, which is 2nd to 1991 for Oct snow. And today is tied for 5th snowiest Oct day. This was an impressive event for Oct. Not easy to get 2"+ during the month. Even looking at 2 day events.

Some of the 2.6" appears to have fallen yesterday, so it won't all be attributed to the 31st (snowfall was shown as missing from yesterday's climate report). Depending on how much fell yesterday, it will still be second or third highest daily total.

+SN with 1/8 mile measured visibility in western Michigan with this, perhaps, Manitoba Mauler (even though it's not really doing much in terms of winter storm development like the winter)

This is what it looks like in Zeeland right now

first burn of the season. Absolutely raw day with a high of 37 with winds doing work on the trees at 35mph. Local news said this could be the coldest Halloween in 100 years, narrowly missing 1917. Gonna warm my bones with chili and ipa next to the fire. Happy Halloween everyone
