Here in the Brainerd Lakes Area of Minnesota , we had a cold windy Halloween evening, but it was nothing compared to the Halloween Blizzard of 1991 dubbed "The Perfect Storm". If you don't believe me, you can look it up in Wikepedia and see that it was judged a full all-out blizzard. It is a legend of no equal for ice and snow. We had ice first ,always a good way to start and then came the snow and kept coming for three days. There were accumulations of one to three feet of snow - a little early even for Minnesota.
Did that stop Cinderella, the Power Rangers and Barney from going door - to- door and accumulating one to three feet of candy? Of course not, but unless they told you what their costumes were you wouldn't know under the winter wear! Tiaras on top of beanie caps were very popular wear for the evening. Are Minnesotans tough? Yah - sure - you betcha!
