It’s been a Halloween filled with rain and snow for much of Minnesota and the heaviest snow fell in the Twin Cities area.

While most of the precipitation fell as rain and sleet, many areas recorded more than 4 inches of snow. Here’s a look at some snowfall totals, as reported by the National Weather Service on Thursday evening:

  • 4.3 inches — Monticello, Plymouth, Sandstone

  • 4 inches — Winthrop

  • 3.5 inches — Maple Lake

  • 3 inches — Buffalo, Maple Plain

  • 2.8 inches — Hinckley, Mound

  • 2.4 inches — Windom

  • 2 inches — St. Bonifacius

  • 1.6 inches — Duluth

Neither rain nor snow stopped Minnesotans of all ages from living Halloween to the fullest. MPR News freelance photographer Erica Dischino went to northern Minnesota and captured those moments.
