I remember the blizzard of '78, trudging through the snow in Prior Lake with my dad to the little corner store because we were out of milk and bread.

I remember the 91 Halloween blizzard. I was out trick or treating in that madness. :D

[@BlueMysticNinjaRanger]

My dad was born and raised in MN. I'm sure he remembers the blizzards in '82 and '85. Back in high school, we had school when it was nearly -30 degrees. I remember back in 2021, it reached -40 degrees here in MN.

oh my. But not as deadly as the Armistice Day storm of November1940 was.

[@russelllivingood2724]

January 1975, the Blizzard of the Century, top of the list out here 100 miles west of the Twin Cities.

You forgot the Armistice Day blizzard, 24", of 1940. Hundreds stayed in downtown hotels, and dozens of hunters were not found until the spring thaw. Some of them were in shirt sleaves. Indian summer had been long and very mild.

The other big snowstorm happened in Minnesota was back in November 1940. Which was known as the Armistice Day Blizzard. Started out with sunny weather and temperatures in the sixties. Most people were poorly prepared for the storm when the temperatures Quickly dropped to below zero When sprinkles became rain, then sleet, Then light snow, and then a deadly blizzard. Killing Around 150 to 200 people. Half of which were duck hunters. 49 people who died were In Minnesota, another 13 were in Wisconsin

This was wild good work

[@dr.bootie]

I remember needing to be carried into the "haunted" Grain Belt Brewery during the blizzard of '91 because I was still too little then.

For many of us, history goes back a lot further than 1991.

Wearing brown shoes and belt over a blue suit is a federal offense.

[@612osiris]

I shoveled two inches already, just waiting on the remaining 18 inches.

[@tombrettin8731]

January 25, 1975 had a nasty snow storm . We were to get married that day but had to cancel. Got married on the 26th surprisingly. My wife when she got mad at me used to say , "Mother Nature was trying to warn me.

Hi MN

[@Hondasmama2005]

Halloween 91 I was 5 and all I remember is I had to wear a huge snowsuit over my costume, throwing a big fit and that we got a ton of candy that year because a lot of kids didn't get to go out at all. Always joke when we have snow in the forecast around Halloween can this top the Halloween 91 blizzard, Or anytime we get snow will it be worse then Halloween 91? Lol

Doesn't look like hair/clothes style has changed much since the 80's at this news station.....
