TWIN CITIES, MN — We aren't sure if it was a trick or a treat, but Minnesotans got their first taste of winter this season with a Halloween snowstorm.

In fact, it is "technically the greatest daily snow depth the Twin Cities has ever had on Halloween," the National Weather Service said, adding the disclaimer that the daily official snow depth is measured at 7 a.m.

The famous 1991 Halloween blizzard snow occurred after 7 a.m.
