It wasn't that many years ago kids had to wear snow boots with their Halloween costumes after several inches of early-season snow accumulated in the Stateline.
The Old Farmer's Almanac has released their forecast for the upcoming winter and they're predicting Minnesota and Wisconsin will be frostier than normal.
As predicted, the warm temperatures this week have led to flooding issues across the Northland. On Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning for northwest Wisconsin as a large portion of State Highway 13 had been closed and there was water on several other roads.
It was a rough winter across the Northland as we've seen some historic snowfall and the damage it can create. Across the area, homeowners suffered losses when garage roofs collapsed due to the weight of the snow. I personally know two people who had this happen to them.
