It’s shaping up to be a frightful forecast for Halloween across much of Minnesota, as rain is expected to change over to snow — possibly heavy at times — on Thursday morning from the Twin Cities north to Duluth mprnews.org/story/2024/10/…

4AM Oct 31 Snow Forecast Update: Rain is expected to change to snow for portions of the Northland today. The storm has shifted eastward, bringing the area of expected snow with it. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect. #mnwx #wiwx

The dogs got to bring a couple of their “inside” toys outside this afternoon

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for snowfall Thursday. Potential snowfall amounts have increased, with 1-4" forecasted in NE MN and portions of northern WI. Locally higher amounts of 3-6" are possible, but confidence is low on exact placement. #mnwx #wiwx

It’s a bizarrely balmy 75 degrees this early morning (3:30a Weds) in the Twin Cities… and now there’s a winter storm watch in effect for tomorrow in Duluth

Every plant right now is like this scene from The Shawshank Redemption

Alert: it’s raining in this part of the Twin Cities for the first time in weeks It’s not much — yet — but you can feel the trees and shrubs soaking it up

A few more autumn scenes from St. Paul today

Maples to the left of me Oak trees to the right Here I am, beneath the colors of fall

The Pickwick Mill, southeast of Winona, catches the bright sunshine on an autumn morning It was built in the 1850s and is on the National Register of Historic Places

@longtimegone65 In Winona and surrounding area — it was mixed. Some maples at peak, but still a lot of trees with green leaves that should be changing soon May need to drive a bit to find it — but there’ll still be nice fall color next weekend (if we don’t get a big windstorm)

@akpix Going next Saturday is it at peak now? Or is next Saturday good?

Fall colors glow at sunrise this morning, as seen from the bluffs looking north along Highway 61 in Winona

The full hunter’s supermoon rises above Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this evening

It’s a peaceful, sad, contemplative site The cemetery is tended by the group that maintains the nearby historic Toimi School. While most of the names may be lost, the children buried there are not forgotten

The five known names: Effie Rikala, Eino Kari, Hugo Kari, Arne Carlson and Hugo Eino Hiltunen. They’re included on five crosses at the site, along with a sixth cross dedicated to the “unknown ones” ….

A poignant place on the backroads northeast of Duluth: the Toimi Settlers Children’s Cemetery While taking photos of fall colors over the weekend, I made a detour to stop there for the first time in years. It’s a short walk in from the road….
