What This Year's Halloween Forecast Has in Store

All eyes are on the forecast today, especially for those with special outdoor Halloween plans. While there are no major snow events predicted for this Halloween, this day in history has periodically brought a deluge of the white stuff. Here is a look back at one of the most prolific Halloween snow events in American history as well as what you can expect this year on the ghoulish holiday.

Nor'easter of 2011 Ruined Halloween Up and Down the East Coast

An early-season nor'easter sent the flakes flying in 2011, burying pumpkins and forcing trick-or-treaters inside. While the snow started falling a few days before Halloween, it stuck around well into the start of November. A large part of the eastern U.S. saw the impacts of this monster storm, stretching from northern Virginia and up into Maine.

The storm came just two months after the region saw a direct strike from Hurricane Irene. This put the area in a more vulnerable position, as the snow and wintry impacts triggered widespread power outages.
