Get Ready, Minnesota! Halloween Could See Snow And Cold Temps

We have had such gorgeous weather this fall.  Just a few days have experienced frost and freezing temperatures.  The rest have been perfect fall days.  Some might say that the temperatures have been a little too warm at times.  Unfortunately, the one night where most of us are going to be outside in Minnesota, Halloween, is going to be a shock to our bodies.

Parents, get ready for some whining and extra layers because the forecast in parts of Minnesota is NOT looking great.
