Some Minnesota trick-or-treaters had to incorporate winter jackets into their Halloween costumes as temperatures dipped into the mid-20s across much of the state Tuesday night.
And while it wasn’t the 1 to 3 feet of snow the state saw during the 1991 Halloween blizzard, much of Minnesota received a few inches of snow Tuesday morning, making the holiday seem more wintery.
We asked you to send us your photos of your Halloween costumes and here’s a selection of our favorites.
Share your costume photos with us at tell@mpr.org. Don’t forget to share the name of the trick-or-treater and what their costume is!
