Snow that has blanketed parts of the northern Rockies, northern Plains, upper Midwest and northern New England set October records in multiple locations, and more snow is on the way through early next week, possibly as far south as Texas.
We're only about a month into autumn, but in the last week a colder pattern in parts of the country has reminded us that winter is fast approaching.
Minneapolis-St. Paul has set the most recent October snowfall record after piling up 7.9 inches on Tuesday, October 20, 2020. That's the heaviest snowstorm on record so early in the season in the Twin Cities.
Montana has been the hardest hit since last week. Great Falls picked up 13.8 inches of snow Friday through Monday and set a number of October snowfall records, including:
-Heaviest calendar-day October snowfall: 8.2 inches Sunday, October 18, 2020.
-Greatest October snow depth: 10 inches Monday, which topped previous record set last year on October 9, 2020.
-Earliest-in-season 10-inch snow depth, which beat the previous record set Nov. 9, 2012.
Remember all the Kennedy stories that we would never see snow again. Wow.
With distance learning / remote learning / streaming there should be no reports of "snow days" for school.
