An early snow? why not?

Another similar dose was expected on Thursday. It's no Halloween blizzard, but the numbers are piling up.

On Wednesday morning, Peterson found contrasting red and white on a fruit tree outside the fire hall on Cloquet Avenue in Cloquet. Find more snowfall pictures on the back page of today's paper.
