October 20, 2020: Twin Cities Forecast to Get Up to 7″ Snow
Usually in Minnesota in October, an exterior photo showing a home covered in snow would be a sure giveaway of a (very) stale listing.**
Not today.
The Twin Cities is expecting up to 7″(!) of snow, with several inches on the ground already (at least, temporarily).
(Winter) Blast From the Past; “But, What About the Leaves??”
While that’s quite early and very unlikely to last, it’s hardly unprecedented: locals will recall the 1991 Halloween Blizzard, which dumped an astounding 28″ over 3 days.
I certainly remember: I was living in Minneapolis’ Bryn Mawr neighborhood (just west of downtown), and practicing law at the time.
No sooner (hardly the right word) than my block finally got plowed out almost a week later, another 16″ snow buried us anew — and was the last we saw of our lawns until the following April . . .
**On the market since last May, at least (it is Minnesota).
