A Spooky Halloween Could Bring Snow This Year
Snow on Halloween? Some weather experts are predicting a chance of snowy pumpkins in late October. Of course, when you mention snow and Halloween, anyone old enough remembers the 1991 Halloween Blizzard.
It was a historic snowy event. The temperature was just right to bring the moisture and snow by the feet over Halloween in '91. It was insane! So we all get a little nervous when we see long-range forecasts like this.
The Old Farmer's Almanac claims they are right about the weather about 80% of the time. That's just about as good as your local TV weatherman. The Old Farmer's Almanac is saying snow is a real possibility for the end of the month.
They say that for the period of October 28-31, we'll see temperatures cool enough at night that precipitation could turn to snow.
