Now that September is here, it's not too unusual to start talking about the "s" word. We don't want to think about it but at least it's not really summer anymore, right?

In case you haven't heard the news just yet, we do have our first official snow of the season in the forecast. The first measurable snow for Minnesota is officially in the forecast for the week.

With temperatures expected to cool off dramatically thanks to an 'arctic blast' making its way across our region this week, it could get just cold enough to get snow in some unlucky parts of the area.

I was not too shocked when I saw that they had light snow in the forecast for a few days later in the month. It looks like we could even get some earlier than that, so they weren't too far off this time around.

According to their outlook, there will be snow chances for the first week of the month followed by a short break. Mid-month will bring the return of rain and snow mix before a brief break that will include sunshine. So what about Halloween?
