As heavy snow falls in Minnesota on Thursday, people are looking back on the Halloween blizzard of 1991 as if it were yesterday.

Bright orange fall colors have been bathed in winter white, the fresh powder bringing back old memories for some St. Louis park residents.

“It’s covered in snow. “Yeah, it’s kind of like the icing on the cake,” a St. Louis Park resident told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS.

It sounds like a tall tale, but on October 31, 1991, a snowstorm was the reality for Minnesotans. History comes to life every October.

“I remember I had a little Honda Accord. “The buses got stuck,” said the resident. “I sort of hibernated for the rest of the day.”

As the families hiked through mountains of snow, they faced plunging temperatures and strong winds.

Fast forward 33 years later, and the snow is still not a problem for Minnesotans and their pets, as some brave the temperatures with a walk around Lake of the Isles.

The snow forecast for Halloween won't come close to 1991, but you can never speak too early.

Mother Nature always has a trick up her sleeve.

“I'm calling it a trick just because it was 30 degrees earlier this week,” said a Minnesotan walking her dog.
