Most people have heard of “The Perfect Storm” since it was a major motion picture but I think alot of people forget that it is actually called the Halloween Storm because it occurred on October 31st, 1991. This is when all the ingredients came together to make a storm that usually occurs once every 50 to 100 years. To find more info you can check out some of the links below:
We saw warm temps yesterday but today it was a completely different story. It is going to be even cooler tonight with low dropping into the 20’s! People are going to need their winter jacket over their costume. It is so funny that we live in a place that can see every kind of weather on Halloween. Today we woke up to snow in north! Hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of November, we have basically seen November like weather all October!
Happy Halloween! Meteorologist Kristen Connolly
