Were you here in MN in 1991? Halloween blizzard.
That storm of 1991 dropped 28.4 inches of snow on the Twin Cities area and 37 inches in Duluth.
As the greatest snowfall in Minnesota history, the storm also broke local records for snowfall in a 24-hour period and snowfall in October, shattering the previous record of 5.5 inches set on Oct. 29, 1905.
Dubbed a "megastorm" by the National Weather Service, the storm system originated in Texas and cut a swath 50 miles wide extending from southwestern to northeastern Minnesota. After reaching the East Coast, the weather system was one of three that made up the "perfect storm" of book and movie lore.
