Does it really snow every Halloween?

After the short answer, which is NO, here are a few statistics that might help you decide whether to dress the kids as tropical islanders or polar explorers.

Fact number one...while it doesn't always snow on Halloween, when it has in the past, it's been so memorable that it sticks in our minds.

From the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Pueblo...a little information from records dating from 1948 until now.
For Colorado Springs:
In all of those years, it's snowed a trace or more 15 times. Only 6 times with an inch or more. The chance of a trace or more is 12%, and the chance of an inch or more is 4%.

Tomorrow...memorable moments in Colorado Springs Halloween history.
